Can you get HIV if someone sticks their tongue into your mouth.?

Question

I'm talking about about possible transmission to someone who has mouth ulcers.

I had ulcers, but not the other person. She also performed fellatio on me, but there were no open sores on my penis at that time.

Answer 1

Hi there...
The below information WILL show that, YES...you CAN get HIV from someone with "Mouth Ulcers".
I am curious about something you wrote...
--->I had ulcers, but not the other person. She also performed fellatio on me, but there were no open sores on my penis at that time. <--- SUP WITH THAT?? Not at THAT TIME? Like...during "Other" times there ARE?

Um..."Nasserprofessional"? What kind of DR is your sister? Is SHE the one who told you these things? That you CAN get HIV from "Holding Hands"? If so...I wanna make sure she is NOT MY Dr!
YOU ABSOLUTELY CANNOT GET HIV FROM HOLDING HANDS DUDE! Do the population a HUGE FAVOR & PLEASE school yourself...and your sister while your at it if she is the one who told you this RIDICULOUS tale!
I am sorrie & dont mean to sound MEAN here, but C'mon dude! You come in here so ADAMANT on something that you OBVIOUSLY have NO knowledge of!

DID YOU KNOW...?
You CANT get HIV from hugging or holding hands or from other casual contact.
HIV is NOT spread through sneezes or coughs, and you CANT catch it from sitting near a person who has it.
Mosquitoes and other bugs DONT carry the virus.
And it is very rare for blood transfusions to spread HIV. All blood in the United States is CAREFULLY TESTED for HIV and other infections before it can be used for transfusions.

The ONLY KNOWN WAY FOR THE HIV VIRUS to be TRANSMITTED FROM ONE PERSON TO ANOTHER is when it is spread from the INSIDE OF AN INFECTED PERSONS BODY TO THE INSIDE OF ANOTHER PERSONS BODY. This can happen when infected fluids - such as semen (also known as "***," the fluid released from the penis when a male ejaculates), vaginal fluids, or blood - are passed from one person to another. A person can become infected even if only tiny amounts of these fluids are spread.

IF YOU HAVE NEVER HAD SEX AND YOU DONT INJECT DRUGS, YOU DONT NEED TO WORRY ABOUT WHETHER YOU HAVE HIV. But if you have had sex or are planning to in the future, HIV is definitely something you should be prepared to prevent. If you do have sex, using latex condoms properly every time can help protect you. Condoms work by providing a barrier to the body fluids that can be shared during sexual activity (including oral sex). Always follow the directions exactly and never use the same condom twice.

How does someone become infected? HIV can be spread through sexual intercourse if one of the partners has the virus. The virus can be spread through an infected person's blood, semen, and secretions from the cervix (part of a female's uterus) or vagina. HIV can travel to another person through cuts and sores on the penis, rectum (the last part of the intestine that connects to the anus), vagina, or skin around the genitals and probably the mouth and other mucous membranes. These cuts or sores are often so small that a person isn't even aware of them. Girls and guys who have a discharge (an abnormal fluid coming from the vagina or penis) or genital sores because they have a sexually transmitted disease are at increased risk for infection. HIV can be spread sexually from a man to a woman, a woman to a man, a man to a man, and a woman to a woman.

People who inject themselves with drugs also risk infecting themselves with HIV. Many people who use needles to take intravenous drugs or steroids share the needles with others. If a person with HIV shares a needle, he or she also shares the virus, which lives in the tiny amounts of blood attached to the needle. Sharing needles can also pass hepatitis and other serious infections to another person

Also, a newborn baby is at risk of getting the HIV virus from his or her mother if she is infected. This can happen before the baby is born, during birth, or through breastfeeding. Pregnant teens and women should be tested for HIV because infected women who receive treatment for HIV are much less likely to spread the virus to their babies. Babies born to mothers infected with HIV are also given special medicines to try to prevent HIV infection.

Asking people if they have HIV is not a reliable way of finding out whether they are infected. People may not answer truthfully. They may be embarrassed to tell you or may not want you to know. Or they may not even know they have the virus because it can take many years for symptoms to develop. An infected person will look healthy for many years and can still spread the virus. The most certain way of preventing HIV infection is by not having sex (abstinence) and by not sharing needles to do drugs.

There are many places you can get more information about HIV and AIDS, personal counseling, and, when appropriate, testing. Talk with your doctor about any concerns you might have.

So you see...you CANNOT get HIV by holding hands!!!

Answer 2

HIV is transmitted by bodily fluids. Saliva is a bodily fluid. You have an open sore. Yes, you could get it IF she has it. Tasting blood in your mouth has nothing to do with anything. And people with HIV often have no symptoms and no sores. The larger question is why you would kiss a girl when you had a blister on YOUR lip. You could have herpes and could have given it to her. That was the true irresponsible act. You cared about her so little, that you would risk infecting her. That's just wrong.

Answer 3

gross.....you can catch hiv if you had direct contact with their blood (do you have a open cut, ulcer, or inflammed gums inyour mouth?) there are reported cases of hiv transmission between partners that kissed with gum disease

if they have mouth ulcers they are pretty advanced in their disease and their viral load is probaby high

to be safe stay away from all type of body fluid contact. don't get me wrong you CAN NOT CATCH HIV from hugs, kiss on the cheek, or holding hands STILL BE THEIR FRIEND

Answer 4

Theoretically yes, probability no. You both would have to have open wounds that were in contact with each other long enough to mix blood and secretion into each others wounds.

Answer 5

The exact amount of saliva needed to transfer HIV is 22litres. So basically, 1 weeks worth of saliva. So no, its ok.

Answer 6

never mind french kissing....you can even get hiv...aids...etc by just shaking hands...a hug...holding hands...your talking about internal contact when you can even get it with external contact...if your really worried so much ask you doctor about it im sure hel tell you the same i said....coz my sisters a doctor...and iv heard of this before that you can get it just by holding hands and its true...not everything needs a tounge,and sliva to transmit a disease...like you can cathc a cold by holding a persons hand who has a cold and has been touching his nose then you touch your face,nose or eat something with the jerms of his cold on your hands then you will surely catch a cold the next day...its same with almost all diseases that spread with contact....by contact they dont always mean that kind of contact even holding hands with a person who has some kind of std your probbably gonna get it even if you dont use tongues and stuff so stay away from dangerous stuff if ur not married...wait till you get married then get tests done on both you and your husband and then its safe....i hope my info is helpfull...be sure to take notice to some of the things i said they are true...

Answer 7

Yes if there is blood contact if there is wound somewhere in the mouths.Otherwise not.

Answer 8
