Staying with an old dear in Eastcote (on contract) and she has let a second room to another guy. He works in the local hairdressers.
My question is this, I have noticed that his soap touches mine in the soap dish and and was wondering if AIDS can be transmitted via a soapdish sort of contact mechanism.
Sensible answers only please

Enough of this childish nonsence.

You only have to worry about the soap if he runs out of KY jelly.

Thats the question i'm asking

I could have just said "bump"!

[Zorba]

If I remember rightly, it's because there's more chance of exposure to blood (through tearing or piles) from that direction. Basically if the carrier gets access to your blood stream, that's where the risk lies.

I'm open to correction of course.

Why would that be?

So anal activity makes you more likely to get it

Why would that be?

[Ardesco]

The chance of getting HIV/AIDS is almost impossible. It's not an easily communicated virus. If you are a man, even if you have unprotected sex with someone infected the chances are very small (possibly less than 0.1%) unless you engage in anal activities or have numerous sessions.

Of course the authorities would have you believe one bang and you're dead, simply not true.

Relax and pick up the soap with impunity, boy!

So anal activity makes you more likely to get it hey... Strange I would have thought that the chances were pretty much the same front door or back door........

[Old Greg]

Out of interest, do you keep your soap in the prison showers?

[Cooperinliverp00l]

yes , if he/she has bleeding gums also
HIV is found in saliva, but in quantities too small to infect someone

What's he been putting in his mouth to get bleeding gums

[Old Greg]

I thought the risk from saliva was theoretical - i.e. could possibly happen but never has.

[andy]

So it's in the saliva as well?.....

So if I'm on a crowded tube train and Mr (or Mrs or Ms) Aids carrier sneezes... is there a risk?

Firstly, how do you know that he has AIDS? How do you know that he even has HIV?

I hope your post was a joke, all be it a sick one.
