Can you catch AIDS or other infecious blood diseases from drinking blood?
Hematologists say the chances of contracting any kind illness, including AIDS, from drinking tainted blood are practically nil, since the stomach acid competely destroys these viruses. A small nick in one’s mouth or gums that or gums that tends to bleed, however, does give the blood direct access to the drinker’s bloodstream. It is possible to become infected that way, although, doctors insist, not likely.
