Can hep b or hiv spread through blood mixed with water going in the eye? I am worried because I saw a pinch of blood in water while washing my face. The water comes from a tank on the terrace. Scared I didn't wash my eyes again. So can the blood mixed with water cause hep and hiv? Please answer.

Dear user. Thanks for the question. Hiv spread through contact between broken skin, wounds, or mucous membranes and hiv-infected blood or blood-contaminated body fluids. Deep, open-mouth kissing if both partners have sores or bleeding gums and blood from the hiv-positive partner gets into the bloodstream of the hiv-negative partner. Hiv cannot spread through saliva. Take care.
