Thank you for your question. I understand your concern about HIV transmission through contaminated water. Let me clarify:
Key Facts About HIV Transmission:
1. HIV Cannot Survive in Water:
- The virus does not live long outside the human body and cannot spread through water, even if blood is present.
2. Stomach Acid Protects You:
- Even with a stomach ulcer, your stomach acid is strong enough to destroy HIV if ingested.
3. How HIV Actually Spreads:
- Only through specific fluids (blood, semen, vaginal fluids, breast milk) entering the bloodstream via unprotected sex, shared needles, or mother-to-child transmission.
Your Risk in This Scenario:
- **Zero risk** of HIV from drinking water, even if it had traces of HIV-positive blood.
When to Test for HIV:
- If you’ve had unprotected sex, shared needles, or other high-risk exposures, get tested (after the 3–6 week window period).

Unlikely. Have mainly enters body through certain body fluids. Acid in stomach protects against microbes.

Please drink or eat anything with open eyes and wear your glasses if you habitually wear glasses.
You should not do absurd things only with the presumption that you can always blame some doctor if something goes wrong later on.

You can get hiv testing done if you have doubt
acid in stomach usually kill the virus.
if you have a stomach ulcer, there is a very small chance of risk.
