If our driver is HIV positive, are we at risk?

Q: Our driver is HIV positive. We also drive the same car ourselves and he is sometimes very sweaty. Are we at risk?

A:No, not at all. Help him to carry on working and providing for his family. Insist that he gets treatment for any of the usual illnesses and not neglect even minor ones. You and your family are not at risk at all.
