Nail Biting and HIV Patients

Can nail biting be harmful to HIV patients? As you may know, people who have AIDS have lower body defences, and it can be a bit of a worry, putting the germs in the mouth. Here's an answer provided by Dr. Judith Feinberg on thebody.com:

You don't need to worry about getting any serious infections from nail-biting. Occasionally nail-biters may get some redness and soreness near the nail if the skin there gets infected. Go with the motivation that it doesn't look very pretty, if you're determined to quit.
