Wounds touching the saliva of AIDS patients generally do not transmit the disease, which is mainly transmitted through sexual contact, blood transmission and mother-to-child transmission.
AIDS is caused by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, which is mainly found in the blood, semen, vaginal secretions, and cerebrospinal fluid of infected people and patients. No evidence has been found that the human immunodeficiency virus can be transmitted through sweat, tears, respiratory tract, food, shaking hands, sharing swimming pools, etc. Therefore, wounds touching the saliva of AIDS patients will not transmit the disease.
Clinical findings show that AIDS is mainly transmitted through sexual contact, mother-to-child transmission, and blood transmission, including blood transfusion and skin piercing by HIV-contaminated needles. Among them, those who have frequent sexual contact with human immunodeficiency virus carriers, homosexuals, intravenous drug dependence, etc. are at high risk of developing AIDS.
People with wounds are advised to take better care of their skin to prevent the occurrence of pathogen infection situations. In order to prevent AIDS, it is important to avoid unclean sex.
