@A myHIVteam Member just remember that if you are undetectable, spitting them in the eye will not do much good. At least that is what I have read and been told.

In a way, I can see where the post could be funny and helpful. The ignorance to think that you can get HIV from biting somebody just shows how much misinformation is out there. I would reply back that you can't get HIV from being bit (well unless you have open sores in your mouth or bleeding gums), and if the crockery still goes on, then I'd unfriend. No need to see such ignorance.
