Answer 1

The Centres for Disease Control investigates new HIV infections, as do similar authorities in other countries. They are particularly thorough about tracking down exactly how the infection was contracted if it wasn't through the three most common ways - anal sex, vaginal sex or contaminated injecting equipment.

They have so far only identified one possible, repeat possible, case passed on through kissing, although they recommend caution.

Answer 2

AIDS has been the most devastating disease in
recent history. An estimated 50 million people have
been infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS,
and about three million of whom die every year. In
the Asia-Pacific Region, about one million people
were newly infected with HIV in 2001.
Despite significant international attention, the
disease continues to spread. One of the chief
reasons is a lack of knowledge. A recent United
Nations study found the vast majority of the world’s
young people have no idea how HIV is transmitted
or how to prevent infection.
Misinformation, myths and ignorance about the
disease allow the virus to spread and contribute
to the stigma and discrimination surrounding AIDS.
How can someone get HIV?
HIV can only be transmitted through blood, semen,
vaginal fluids and breast milk. The majority of people
in Asia have become infected through unprotected
vaginal sex and sharing contaminated needles and
syringes to inject drugs.


MYTH: "I don't have to worry about AIDS because I'm not gay."
FACT: Heterosexual intercourse is the primary mode of (HIV) transmission worldwide.

MYTH: "You can't get AIDS from oral sex."
FACT: HIV is transmitted through all forms of unprotected sex, including oral, vaginal and anal. And it doesn't matter whether the sexual act is being performed by a man or a woman.

MYTH: "You can tell if someone has HIV by looking at them."
FACT: A person can be HIV-positive and not show any symptoms for many years.

MYTH: "Shooting up is the only way drugs lead to AIDS."
FACT: While sharing needles remains one of the surest ways to get HIV, any drug use can put you at risk for the virus by altering your behavior and allowing you to do things you normally wouldn't. Remember, steroids, pot (marijuana), crack and alcohol all fall under this category.

Answer 3

You can't get HIV by just kissing your mouth onto their mouth. Giving them oral sex is riskier, even with a condom. Make sure that you are using a new condom that isn't more than a month old or past the expiration date. Also make sure it wasn't kept in a hot or humid place (like under the mattress or in their back pocket.) A condom that isn't properly cared for will burst. If you don't get near their vagina or penis, and they don't get near yours, your chance of getting HIV is next to nothing. Unless you share needles or suck large amounts of each other's blood, hehe.

Answer 4

By kissing, no. You would need to swallow about a bucketful of saliva to get HIV by kissing, which isn't going to happen. If you have a transfer of semen to blood (aka unprotected sex) or blood to blood transfers (sharing needles, unsafe blood transfusions, etc.), than you can transfer HIV. Condoms are strong protections against STDs, but not 100% protection, more ike 95-97%, so be careful.

Answer 5

there have been traces of HIV found in saliva, but not nearly enough to infect you. oral, vaginal, or anal sex puts you at great risk. the best way to be safe is to be checked for HIV or other STDs before you and your partner begin to have sex. i don't mean before every session, i mean before you have ever have sex together the first time. never cheat on each other either because that increases the risk of spreading a sexually transmitted disease.

Answer 6

Only if there is a transfer of blood.

Answer 7

Unless the person you kiss pisses blood from the mouth I don't think so o.o;;

Answer 8

yes but kissing only if you swallow there spit or have a cut in your mouth
