Can you get HIV from sharing a toothbrush??


Question:
recently used my roommate's toothbrush by mistake about 2 minutes after he used it?? Can I get HIV this way if he has HIV?? I have heard that the HIV canot survive on the toothbrush especially that it was rinsed with water by him when he finished and by me before I used it....please help

Answers:
calm down!!!let it b clear that hiv is not found in saliva.the chances from contamination with toothbrush is weather he bleeds when he uses it.but in ur case and even if he bleeded the virus would have died in 2 minutes in air.dont worry and dont put too much thought into it!!
good luck
not you can only get hiv if his blood even touches a small part of a open cut ar scratch
