HIV cannot be contaminated by take away food - Enjoy your Pani Puris.

HIV cannot be contaminated by take away food - Enjoy your Pani Puris.

Please read the entire article in this site .

The site also mentions clearly the following:

There is no known risk of HIV transmission to co-workers, clients, or consumers from contact in industries such as food-service establishments (see information on survival of HIV in the environment). Food-service workers known to be infected with HIV need not be restricted from work unless they have other infections or illnesses (such as diarrhea or hepatitis A) for which any food-service worker, regardless of HIV infection status, should be restricted.
HIV is not an airborne or food-borne virus, and it does not live long outside the body. Even if small amounts of HIV-infected blood were consumed, stomach acid would destroy the virus.

So enjoy those Pani Puris and Vada Pavs.... I love the food of Amchi Mumbai!!
