It is true that the HIV virus is found in all the body fluids of an HIV+ person, including his/her saliva. However, the amount present in the saliva is too insignificant/minute to result in infection. Hence, there is no risk in, for e.g., sharing food/eating utensils with an infected person.
Dry kissing (without the exchange of saliva) is safe. Wet kissing (with the exchange of saliva) can be a bit riskier, especially if the HIV- person has cuts/open wounds in his/her mouth. These cuts/open wounds may allow transmission of the minute amount of the HIV virus in the saliva of the HIV+ person. To play it safe, avoid wet/deep/French kissing. However, a peck on the lips is definitely not risky.

I have always heared that you can not get hiv/aids by kissing some one. Although it is carried in the syliva of a person, I heared it would take like 9 gallons of it for you to get hiv/aids. My best advice is ask a doctor or nurse.

You can't get HIV from kissing someone, unless he/she has open sores or cuts in his/her mouth (HIV can be transmitted through blood).

No, the Silvia in your mouth and the acid in your stomach kills the virus.

It depends on their serum levels, and what phase the disease is in.
