Yes, you can get HIV by french kissing although the chances are low. It is recommended to not french kiss someone that may be infected because there is a risk of coming into contact with blood and cuts that can easily spread the virus.
HIV is transmitted through bodily fluids. It is easier to spread HIV through some bodily fluids compared to others. Contact with the following may result in the transmission of HIV: blood, semen, vaginal fluid, breast milk, cuts, sores, or breaks, skin and mucous membrane, biting (although less likely), ("skin" or lambskin) natural membrane condoms (which are not recommended for HIV prevention). Contact with the following have not been shown to result in the transmission of HIV: saliva, tears, sweat, or insects.
It is better to be safe than sorry because an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Technically, HIV transmission by deep kissing might be possible, especially if the infected person has a particularly high viral load--and one such circumstance is primary HIV infection, during the window period. Even here, however, such transmission undoubtedly is extremely rare, and HIV transmission by kissing has never been documented. I can't say what the viral load is in saliva during the window period, before antibody develops; I'm not sure it has even been studied.
I hope that helps. Good luck--

HIV is pass through bodily fluids and if you have an open wound in the mouth and kiss someone with HIV then you are at risk of getting infected, so be careful and get tested, ask yo partner to get tested and be safe (condoms and abstinence).

Yes but only if the person that has HIV has a cut or something and blood is coming out.Even a little spot that cannot be seen can infect a person with HIV....

Blood and other body fluids, but not saliva. Don't kiss someone with HIV who has an open sore in or near their mouth. Ew, and that goes for non-HIV people as well.

HIV must enter the bloodstream directly, kissing is not risk unless there is an open wound in the mouth on one or both parties

yes, and the chances of getting infected by saliva is almost the same as when you get in contact with other person's tears, so think twice before licking strangers tears!

While rare, it can be transfered in saliva but typically only if the non infected party has an open sore in/on their mouth.
