Yes, I do and to answer your question there have been no documented cases of catching HIV thru feces or urine. HIV is found (if any) in very small amounts of urine and feces. Besides...once it (the virus) hits air it is viral load is reduced tremen...

I am in the associate degree program and plan on doing just that! Working part time (having more kids too, i have 1 now) then pursuing my bsn. It may take me a while but it will happen! Good luck to all!
