because i don't know: can HIV be transmitted through ingesting blood or getting it in an open wound?

Posted by colinski (aka colinski) Jul 10 '09, 11:40

i've watched a lot of MMA stuff, and if one guy is bleeding, it's all over the other one.. they have a huge possibility of ingesting it or getting it in their own cuts.

i honestly don't know...

    - i don't think kickboxing is as rough as that and not as much contact, but i guess they were refering to MMA type stuff since it's being made an issue. - colinski Jul 10, 11:45 3

it's sort of a blood-to-blood thing, but I think there's also a risk of transmission through mucus membranes. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 10, 11:41 6
- what jack said. not mucous membranes. -- nm - loosilu Jul 10, 11:45
- The virus dies nearly instantly when exposed to oxygen, but if it is shielded from air and transmitted to a membrane (i.e., the eye), it could infect - Beryllium Jul 10, 11:42 3
  - there was a csi episode about that. snuff film in an abandoned hotel, iirc. - mafic Jul 10, 11:46 2
    - regarding the IM, they got that from duck tales. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 10, 11:50 1
