IMO.. yes they have.. sharing a fork is the most repugnant thing I have heard on this site.. I don't frequent the arms


I think you will find that those with infection often have bleeding gums, mouth sores.. blood seeps from these oozing sores and contamination can occur .. but feel free to try it out and see... be my guest!


from www.aids.gov

HIV is not transmitted via saliva - that is a fact. Your ignorance and scaremongering is disgusting.

Although I did go and stay in Germany with a schoolfriend when she was based there for a while.

The only person I see from abroad is my cousin from the USA and her husband, and they don't turn up unexpectedly.....we arrange a holiday with another cousin and husband from Norfolk and the six of us spend a week together.

(Actually the cousins, five years ago, were more strangers I ate with. They are not strangers now though!)

Eating my dinner tonight is going to be a revelation. :rotfl:

I'm pretty sure I put more than the tip of the tines in my mouth but I'll have to check.

And check what my OH does.

I'm getting ready for him saying 'Oi! What are you looking at?' :rotfl:

And people-watching at my local Wetherspoons (we just drink there, rarely eat) on steak night, curry night and fish friday is going to be fun.

We all need a hobby!:rotfl:

Some of the posters would probably itch the dogs belly with their fork and carry on eating!!

That just made me :rotfl: Reminded of the kind of things I've seen people doing on that Obsessive Compulsive Cleaners programme!

I shall lay the blame firmly at your door if I get a fat lip for staring at random diners.

I saw their van yesterday I almost wet myself with excitement.. They were speeding though so I didn't have time to get a pic! I want to steal those cleaners.. I LOVE them all!

Sore in the mouth or bleeding gum.. typical problem with HIV...

So there is still hysteria, fear and ignorance around HIV sadly. I had hoped that was mostly behind us in this country.

Nothing motivates me more to do housework than that programme!

I have the opposite response, I see how much worse it could be and relax.

Who cares where the s0dding visitor is from - but if they're staying with you it would be entirely normal to bring them along to a function with your friends and family, and to them your visitor would be a stranger.
