Unlikely unless both mouths have bleeding wounds.
HIV( the virus which can lead to AIDS)needs blood contact to get passed on.

Yes, it depends which part of the body you smooch with. Aids can only be transmitted by exchange of fluids. So is you kiss, have oral, vaginal or anal sex you are at risk. Remember that statistics are just that. You don't want to be that 1 in 10000 that get it.

Only if both people have open sores in their mouths.
Contrary to popular belief, HIV is not all that easily spread. The link below has a chart detailing AIDS transmissions rates.

Technically speaking, yes, as a bodily fluid, saliva can transmit HIV. However, the quantity of fluid transfer necessary makes it practically (nearly) impossible. This, of course, assumes the absence of open sores/wounds/cuts, as described above, because blood is a much better carrier.

No, the AIDs virus is transmitted through blood and reproductive fluids only.

Only if the person with AIDS and the person that they are kissing have bleeding sores in their mouths. Saliva cannot transmit HIV, so in most cases, kissing cannot transmit HIV.

Only if you BOTH have an open wound in your mouth or bleeding gums and were french kissing. The chances of it happening are extremely low.

I don't think so only if you both have a cut on your lip or that person has a open sore in there mouth or something like that.

As long as the person you are kissing does not have sores in and about the mouth you should be fine.

Yes it can be, but only if you drank about 20 litres of saliva - which you won't, so don't worry about it.
