yes..HIV is spread most commonly in these ways:

By having sex with an infected partner. The virus can enter the body through the lining of the vagina, vulva, penis, rectum, or mouth during sex.
Through contact with infected blood. Before blood was screened for evidence of HIV infection and before heat-treating techniques were introduced to destroy HIV in blood products, such as factor 8 and albumin, HIV was transmitted through transfusions of contaminated blood or blood components. Today, because of blood screening and heat treatment of blood derivatives, the risk of getting HIV from such transfusions is extremely small.
By sharing needles or syringes (such as during injection drug use), which can be contaminated with very small quantities of blood from someone infected with the virus. It is rare, however, for a patient to give HIV to a health care worker or vice-versa by accidental sticks with contaminated needles or other medical instruments.
During pregnancy or birth. Approximately one-quarter to one-third of all untreated pregnant women infected with HIV will pass the infection to their babies. HIV also can be spread to babies through the breast milk of mothers infected with the virus. If the mother takes the drug AZT during pregnancy, she can significantly reduce the chances that her baby will be infected with HIV. If doctors treat mothers with AZT and deliver their babies by cesarean section, the chances of the baby being infected can be reduced to a rate of one percent.
Having a sexually transmitted disease such as syphilis, genital herpes, chlamydia, gonorrhea, or bacterial vaginosis, which appears to make people more susceptible to and at higher risk for acquiring HIV infection during sex with infected partners.

Yes, they can. Especially if its an open cut. But its better if its the other way around. if the person that didnt have it had the open cut, theres a small chance they could be infected then the person with hiv had it. But if it was a closed cut, then theres a smaller chance.

Ive studied STD's in my A-stages and so I have been given in intensity wisdom on the subject, HIV is unfold via a)blood transfusions b)sharing of contaminated needles c)no or incorrect contraceptives utilized in sexual intercourse.. so that's extremely unfold via direct touch of blood or semen via 2 human beings. Condoms as you need to understand are no longer one hundred% powerful, they could be in basic terms at optimum 60-70% powerful and so there remains attainable of HIV-an infection however the prospect is a lot decrease in comparison to no longer employing a condom in any respect, yet confident in case you utilize 2 condoms that's lots safer yet nonetheless no longer one hundred%, you could never be one hundred% particular you will no longer get HIV in case you're having intercourse with an HIV-useful guy or woman despite in case you employing 3-5 condoms ( something CAN ensue).. Kissing an HIV-useful guy or woman would not reason HIV to unfold except the contaminated guy or woman has a decrease in or around his lips or mouth then confident it may infect you.

In all the years of the epidemic (25 now) there has been 1 documented case of transmission through deep kissing. It was a prolonged session with both parties just having had extensive dental work done. It is an extremely low risk activity.

Yes, because the person without the mouth cut would absorb the blood in a number of different ways....I hope this is a rhetorical question...
