This happened few months back. I had a baby and came home from hospital. We had a guest in house of unknown hiv status. I shared a bar soap for showering. I am worried that other person also used same soap for showering so it might e have some body fluids. So can it be a risk of hiv transmission by sharing bar soap. Also wants to add I had Vaginal delivery with position so used same soap to clean my private?s during showering. And also used soap before shaving my legs. No razor sharing. Is there any risk of hiv transmission. Please answer me my anxiety is killing me. Thanks.

You do not get HIV by sharing soaps. Don't worry. These are undue fears and give up. Just concentrate on baby and non on such things which have no scientific basis.
