I'll tell what an actual doctor told me and that was in order to get hiv from saliva you would have to drink at least a gallon of someone who is infected saliva. So, just sharing forks, bottles, and kissing your not going to catch it unless you have an open sore in your mouth or around it then it is very possible. Thats the biggest thing is if you have open sores and come in contact with anyone whos infected bodily fluids.

This question is pretty lame. The short answer is you can 'catch' a virus anywhere it exists and since there are zillions of viruses around we should all be dead.
The realistic answer is that saliva in your mouth in conjunction with the defense mechanisms of the human body and all that goes with it doesn't support transmission very well. In fact there has only been 1 documented case that I ever read about.
If kissing spread HIV then I would suspect that just about everyone in the world would be dead by now.
If you are worried about HIV transmission via saliva you should probably be more worried about getting Hepatitis, Herpes, HPV , Pneumonia, Tuberculosis, and the bubonic plague.
Guessing and spreading rumor takes as much time as educating yourself. SO take some time and learn what a virus actually is and spend some time educating yourself how your wonderful body functions. Then you can answer this question yourself and be a better part humanity.

You can only get HIV if you have sex with someone who has it or someone with HIV gets their blood on a fork or has and open cut in their mouth and some blood gets on it. Even then it is not very likely that you will get HIV. If this has happened get tested every year for the next 3-7 years because if you do get infected it can take take that long before it starts to show up then another couple of years before it is full blown.

If I remember correctly, you can get HIV from kissing if someone has an open wound in their month, otherwise I believe you have to swallow like a gallon of saliva to be infected, which is a lot.

no - not from saliva alone. a cut in each of your mouths is a differnt story as HIV is transmitted through blood.

HIV virus doesnt survive in saliva.This parsite survives in blood of
mamals and it dies if it is exposed to ambient environment more then a few seconds.

HIV is spread through blood.

there are diseases you can get in that manner, but HIV is NOT one of them. Unless the person you are sharing with has bleeding gums, you cannot get the disease, it doesn't pass in saliva.
