What other weird or downright stupid myths about HIV have you heard?Myth? Anyone who has gums which tend to bleed may soon get the shock of their life after sharing a toothbrush with friend or lover who has hiv... Never a wise move to share a toothbrush.

While it does take blood to blood contact to get HIV it is entirely possible to get from a badly bloodied toothbrush if you have oral wounds of any kind.
