I know they say you can't get AIDS from a toothbrush, but I don't see why not. I mean, the brush can make little cuts, like sometimes when your gums bleed from brushing? So, doesn't that mean that if he brushes, gets a cut, bleeds, then you share the brush after him, you could get it from him?
This is just theoretical. ↓

That's ridiculous. Even if such an unlikely scenario occurred, exactly how long do you think those germs could live on a toothbrush in the open air. Don't be silly. ↑

I dunno thurmond, how do you know how long it takes the air to kill those AIDS germs?? Has anyone done a study on it that you know of??? ↑

Ladies, don't get bitchy. Beth is just asking an honest question and your cat fights aren't helping her any. Beth, the experts have said that you can't get it from a toothbrush, so I guess it comes down to trust: either you trust the experts, or maybe don't borrow his brush, even if you have to go to work with dogbreath for once. ↑
