text: You can share utensils - you can share plates and even share food - HIV is not going to be transmitted this way.\n\nYou do not have wash the plates & stuff in extra hot water & antibacterial soap.  Water kills the virus, air kills it, regular soap kills it - anyways - how would you become infected from washing the dishes?  Not at all.\n\nHIV dies as soon as it hits the air.\n\nChemicals in food, natural and not, will kill the virus.\n\nHow likely is it that you'd get their blood in your mouth, and you have a cut or a way for the virus to get in you?  Not likey, right?\n\nHIV is not an airborne disease.  The following fluids do not transmit HIV;\nSaliva, sweat, tears, urine, feces, and vomit.\n\nLighten up and stop worrying.  HIV is not as easy to get as you might think.
