The amount of saliva needed to transfer hiv is rather large, you would need to pass litres between each other ( still again ther ewould need to be abrasions for the virus to enter.) The virus also dies when ingested.
So the chances are probably slimmer than winning the lotto

There is a chance. I know, I know, everybody else says, HIV cannot be transfered by kissing, but through medias like blood. Imagine the person you're kissing has bleeding gums, then what?

Hey there is no risk in kissing a person infected with HIV,only thing be careful that you dont have open cuts/wounds in your's and the other persons mouth.Make sure that no open cut gets blood in from the infected person

There are numerous body fluids which could carry the HIV virus. those "ordinary human beings" are possibly to come back into contact with are: blood, semen, vaginal fluid and breast milk. There are also different actual fluids which could carry the virus that health care workers might want to come into contact with, which incorporates the fluid around the spinal wire and the mind. As you will see, saliva is nowhere in that record. there is not any longer a severe sufficient HIV concentration in saliva to pass alongside the virus.

you would need to drink over 3 litres of someones saliva to increase the risk of catching HIV and then it would be unlikely. However anyone that drinks 3 litres of saliva deserves to catch HIV lol

HIV is not transmitted by kissing except when both of you have an open wound on your lips.

How sad that there are still people out in our world that don't understand how HIV is transmitted. It is transmitted by blood and body fluids. Salvia is not a mode of transmission. Just like sweat is not. Please check out the site below and it will help you understand this disease.

slim but it could happen because saliva has been know to carry it...but u would have to have a cold sore or something that would put the saliva in contact w/ blood....
P.S. i don't think there has been a known case that someone has caught it from kissing

I hear relatively small, but check with the Center for Disease Control.
