How likely is it to pass AIDS through saliva?

Answer 1

these people above me know nothing, it's very clear. Way to make up statistics for 'information' that isn't even true.

It has not been proven AT ALL that HIV can be transmitted through saliva. No transmission is likely through saliva. If that was true, then if you shared drinks with someone with HIV you could catch it, someone sneezing on you, etc.

IT DOES NOT transmit through saliva

blood, semen, vaginal secretions, pre-ejaculatory fluid, and to a much lesser extent breast milk. Not sweat, tears, or saliva.

Answer 2

How is HIV not transmitted?
The virus can live only inside a living human body and survives for just a few hours outside the body.


HIV cannot be transmitted through saliva, tears, vomit, faeces and urine, although very small amounts of the virus have been found in these fluids. HIV has not been found in sweat.

HIV cannot pass through unbroken skin and is not spread through casual contact such as touching someone with HIV, or something they have used; sharing eating or drinking utensils; or using the same toilet seats or washing water.

Nursing or caring for someone with HIV is not risky if the person follows sensible precautions such as disposing of sharp needles safely and keeping cuts covered.

HIV is not transmitted by mosquitoes or other blood-sucking insects. Most insects do not pass blood from one person to another when they bite humans. The malaria parasite enters the bloodstream in mosquito saliva, not blood.


Remember, these are still bodily fluids, and I believe that just because there have been no cases reported where the virus has been spread by these, doesn't mean it can't happen.

Answer 3

U cannot get AIDS thru saliva. Research the material and u will see. How many people in this world kiss each and have not been infected. If it was like that then everyone has AIDS!

Answer 4

You're unlikely to get aids through saliva. There isn't very much of the virus in saliva. You're more likely to get Hepatitis than AIDs in this manner. According to my text, HIV "is a fragile virus spread through infected body fluids, including blood, semen, vaginal secretions, and breast Milk. HIV is NOT transmitted through tears, saliva, urine, emesis, sputum, feces, or sweat."

Answer 5

The likelihood of transmission of HIV from an infected person to an uninfected person varies significantly depending on the type of exposure or contact involved. The risk of becoming infected with HIV through unprotected (without a condom) oral sex is lower than that of unprotected anal or vaginal sex. However, even a lower risk activity can become an important way people get infected if it is done often enough. The Options Project found that 7.8% (8 of 102) of recently infected men who have sex with men in San Francisco were probably infected through oral sex. Most of these men believed that the risk was minimal or non-existent

Answer 6

It has not been proving that you can pass Aids through saliva. You may pass it on through blood, semen, injecting drug users, sex intersect, and transfusions. But it is most unlikely for you to pass it on through your saliva.

Answer 7

No way. It is in such low concentration that no one has ever been infected through saliva.

Answer 8

if it bargains with sperm and blood, then definite.... so user-friendly as an open wound of a non-aids sufferer sticks to an AIDS sufferer ought to spread it yet if you end up speaking about an basic kiss, then no no and definitely no longer

Answer 9

Very likely, AIDS is transmissable through any bodily fluid!!!

Answer 10

yes if the person gums are bleeding, which happens 80 percent of the time with humans even with good gums
