I have fragile skin do to my Porphyria and Hemochromatosis.
Just the lightest bump of my leg on anything, like a table breaks my skin and it bleeds. My little Missy loves to lick my wounds and my mother is worried that I could infect her with HIV. I don't beleive it is possible and have told her that.
But, I thought I would the experts here in the forum.
Bless! Patrick,
PS. Missy and I also drink out of the same glass. lol

Unless Missy is a chimp, Missy can't get HIV. Even if Missy is a chimp, she would simply throw off the infection.
Remind your mom that the H in HIV stands for Human. Much as we love our pets, they are not human. Better than, maybe :)

That's what I thought... thanks for the reassurance. ;)
