Yes. HIV is transmitted through direct contact of a mucous membrane or the bloodstream with a bodily fluid containing HIV, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluid, preseminal fluid, and breast milk. This transmission can come in the form of anal, vaginal or oral sex, blood transfusion, contaminated needles, exchange between mother and baby during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding, or other exposure to one of the above bodily fluids.

No, it dosent. It would take a lot of it to spread the disease. However, if you do have a cut in your mouth then it would be much easier to transfer the disease that way. Studies have found that HIV AIDS USUALLY will not transfer through your mouth. BUT, there has been a case in which two people who were DEEP french kissing spread the disease to the other.

The HIV virus is found in only trace amounts in saliva (and tears). The CDC has investigated only one case of transmission by open mouth kissing. So, it is NOT considered a transmission route.

Saliva and can contain HIV, although it is very low in concentration under normal exposure circumstances. Be careful of cuts, open sores, wounds, etc.

no, i don't think they do. Only the sharing of blood with one another does (like a seringe). However, human saliva is known to have caused maningacocol disease (think that's how ya spell it) So don't share drinks or let spit fly to your mouth too much haha.

Only if you have sores in or around your mouth. Aids is a blood-borne virus, so it's usually only passed in blood.

No. HIV is spread by blood, semen, or vaginal secretions.
