"You don't actually "get" AIDS. You might get infected with HIV, and later you might develop AIDS. You can get infected with HIV from anyone who's infected, even if they don't look sick and even if they haven't tested HIV-positive yet. The blood, vaginal fluid, semen, and breast milk of people infected with HIV has enough of the virus in it to infect other people. Most people get the HIV virus by:
having sex with an infected person
sharing a needle (shooting drugs) with someone who's infected
being born when their mother is infected, or drinking the breast milk of an infected woman
Getting a transfusion of infected blood used to be a way people got AIDS, but now the blood supply is screened very carefully and the risk is extremely low.
There are no documented cases of HIV being transmitted by tears or saliva, but it is possible to be infected with HIV through oral sex or in rare cases through deep kissing, especially if you have open sores in your mouth or bleeding gums."

yes it is possible to get hiv that is, if both people have an open cut in their mouth even with just a small amount of blood.....i don't think that either of you win the bet because your wrong for thinking that it isn't possible and she is wrong for saying that you can get aids from it....hiv and aids are two different things but are hand and hand. why don't you guys educate yourself on the matter it's important to know the facts.

You would get HIV if you are infected, which leads to AIDS. In any case, I work in the medical field, and part of universal precautions is to treat ever patient as if he/she could be carrying the HIV infection. So, if someone needs CPR, mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, there is a device that is placed over their mouth/nose with a one-way air valve to be used. You never know what kind of open lesions the person may have in their mouth. It's not transmitted through saliva (there is no data to support transmission in this bodily fluid to my knowledge), but why would you want to risk it? So, to completely answer your question, it is not impossible to get HIV from making out. I hope that this information helps you.

It's possible if both of you have open wounds in your mouth. Normally people with open wounds in their mouths don't make out with other people, so chances are you're pretty safe making out with someone. Technically she's right, but overall and for practical purposes, you're right. I hope you get a good steak dinner out of the bet. :)

HIV is the start to aids and it is spread through sexual contact, with bodly fluids. So depends on how heavy the make out is.

No Aides can only be contracted through an exchange of body fluids such as needles during drug use or sex either oral, vaginal, or anal.
But casual kissing no.

You are right, unless you both have open, bleeding sores in your mouths.
