Can HIV/AIDS be spread through an infected person cooking


Can HIV/AIDS be spread through an infected person cooking?
I am just a little concerned because I recently found out one of my coworkers may have HIV. He routinely cooks for our clients and doesn't always wear gloves. Should I be concerned? Two of our other coworker through big hissy fits about him cooking. Whoops, I meant threw.

5 :
No, this is ridiculous.
6 :
don't be concerned, because HIV/AIDS can't be spread just by someone cooking, evem sharing food doesn't spread it
7 :
lol no i dont think it wil do nething to u...
8 :
no. HIV/AIDS can be caused only by blood to blood contact. unless his blood and your blood make contact, then you can't get it.
9 :
It can only be spread through body fluids, so I doubt cooking could transmit it.
10 :
No.
11 :
Nope. Nothing to worry about. The only way that you can spread aids through cooking is if a fairly large about of his blood got into the food that you ate... which isn't goign to happen so no worries
12 :
Dont worry the virus is not resistible to heat or cold when its free at the air
13 :
absolutely not. HIV/AIDS can only be spread through some body fluids, not including saliva, urine, sweat, or tears. The fluids that carry the virus are blood, semen, and vaginal secretions. The virus can not live outside it's human host's body, so even if the cook cut themselves and got some blood in the food,the consumers are still not at risk.
14 :
I wouldn't be concerned in the least.
15 :
Unless he ejaculates or bleeds into the food, then no. Hepatitis, on the other hand, CAN be spread easily if the infected person doesn't wash his/her hands after using the bathroom.
16 :
Not unless he bleeds or ejaculates all over the finished dish.
17 :
It's very unlikely that you could catch it that way. Sort of a one in a million shot. Take a look at this chart to understand the rather limited chances. http://campus.murraystate.edu/academic/faculty/frank.elwell/Prob3/GLOSSARY/Sohel13.gif Blood transfusions usually involve quite a bit of blood, and it usually takes quite a bit of contact in blood to get it. No blood brother activities and you'll be fine.

if the virus is cooked, it will be killed! But if he touched vegetables raw ones, or soemthing thta is not cooked, and there is blood on it and you swallow blood yes you will get it! About the saliva, the percentage is really small you will get it
19 :
NO! These ugly rumors need to stop! Even if they dripped blood or spit into the food, the heat at which they are cooking would kill the virus, plus the virus has already been exposed to air. I'm no doctor, but I feel pretty safe with that assumption!
