Didn't your parents and teachers drum into you to never share combs, drinks, towels etc, and always wear rubber thongs in public showers? Get a check up at the doctors and don't share drugs again.

HIV can be transmitted Thur any body fluid, such as saliva, semen, vaginal secretions, and blood. If you ingested some of his saliva from the joint, then there's a possibility. But instead of asking Yahoo, it would be better for you to call a testing facility for a solid answer, and to book an appointment for a HIV test.

I wouldn't worry about it at all.

Saliva does contain HIV, but the virus is only present in very small quantities and as such cannot cause HIV infection.

No it is extremely unlikely you would have caught anything as it is safe to kiss a HIV+vie person as saliva does not really carry the virus. I think you can relax. Perhaps if it still worry you an look up HIV on the net.

Adam is right...then has never been a documented case of HIV being passed by saliva...thus family members living with an infected person...share glasses, silverware, etc...so relax you are fine..the only thing that you would need to know was if he had any open sores on or in his mouth...if you are uncertain then you really should have a test about 3 months from the time that you shared the joint and even then the chances are extremely extremely low but for your own piece of mind...have the test...
