It is true that the chance of contracting HIV by kissing is small but there is a chance. It is also important to note that the virus can enter your bloodstream, not just through visible cuts or scrapes but through tiny, invisible micro lesions. These can be caused by eating, brushing teeth, or just about anything we put in our mouths. We wouldn't even be aware of them. Considering the consequences, I'd think twice about kissing on the lips. Remember there's only a very small chance of winning the lottery but somebody always wins eventually!

open mouth kissing. There is a chance not only cause of the saliva but most people have open sores in their mouths from biting the mouth or from other sores.
closed mouth kissing there is a chance if any bodily fluids are exchanged and there is no guarantee that there will be absolutely none.
So you are taking a chance if you kiss on the mouth I had a relative with aids and he would never kiss anyone in the mouth and he was very cautious as anyone with aids or HIV should be

LET SEE THE HIV 101 HIV is a RNA (ribonucleic acid) virus which can translate into DNA inside human cell by using enzyme called reverse transcriptivase. - is a virus destroys the immune system of the person it infects and making susceptible to other disease and infection. HIV can conceive by direct contact meaning if you kiss the person with HIV has a blood on it and the same time you had open wounds (dental problem) chances are 35-50% of acquiring. but the person you can person you kiss with HIV and blood on it and you, any problem any open wounds chances is very small. (the cuts usually refer into internal) SAliva can also be a factor but you need a gallon and half of saliva before you finally acquire it ( so gonna be a non stop smooching). Sexual intercourse of course we all know that this is crucial since there direct contact since it is exchanging your specimen and if it has some std chances are 100% (any open wounds that the virus can enter) plus the specimen that penetrate inside the other body. exchanging needles etc., oral sex, anal. Studies show that mostly couple that acquiring HIV is heterosexual with multiple partner. this only few to count. --- as well said and done the contraception that needed to us e.g condom should be latex ( made sheep skin and not just ordinary condom) and as of now there will be a new release contraceptive for female that is like KY jelly a cream that can kill a virus thou it is still under observation. --- like the other guy says it take six months window period before you can actually get a test but within the six month period you need to refrain of having sex. other wise if you continue within the said period it can jeopardies the result.

Dear Asker!

Can I get HIV from open-mouth kissing?

Answer: Open-mouth kissing is considered a very low-risk activity for the transmission of HIV. However, prolonged open-mouth kissing could damage the mouth or lips and allow HIV to pass from an infected person to a partner and then enter the body through cuts or sores in the mouth. Because of this possible risk, the CDC recommends against open-mouth kissing with an infected partner. One case suggests that a woman became infected with HIV from her sex partner through exposure to contaminated blood during open-mouth kissing. The July 11, 1997, Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report contains an article on this case.

Hope that may help you!
Good luck!

The risk is miniscule. Unless the HIV+ person was bleeding into his mouth AND you had a cut/tear/ulcer, the risk is small.

SALIVA CANNOT TRANSMIT HIV.
If there is VISIBLE HIV+ blood, then there is a risk (still pretty small and still considered LOW RISK.

It also depends on his viral load. Is he on treatment? Is his viral load undetectable? If so, the chances are even smaller.

I would not worry about light kissing, and if it is a makeout session, I would check for visible blood.

I have kissed/made out with many HIV+ people over the years and I am still HIV-.

Unless you are having unprotected sex with someone or sharing needles with them, the risk of contracting HIV is VERY VERY VERY small

In kissing there is a minimal risk. The risk occurs if you swap body fluids or you have an exposed sore. Even so the possibility of infection is very very very small. Despite what people think the HIV virus cannot live outside the human body for long. Kissing would require constant and intensive exposure and even then the risks remain low. Hope this helps.

The chances of you getting HIV, is great, and that can eventually turn into AIDS. On an HIV patient, any bodily fluid is potentially infective. From blood, sweat, tears, saliva, urine, feces, plasma, pus....anything. You can also contract HIV from these bodily fluids getting into contact with any opening on your body, or open sore. This also means cavities in your teeth, bleeding gums, pimples, abrasions, and so on. This is the reason why healthcare providers wear gloves, gowns, masks, and eye protection. Best of luck to you.

No unless you have open cuts or sores in your mouth but before you believe me or any person on this site do some research your self. Google it and I'm sure you will find plenty of factual answers or try webmd.com

Good Luck
PS- If you have already kissed this person don't worry about it , if you are then have an aids test for piece of mind.

Depends what kind of kiss you did to that person.if you deep kissed and if you have cuts,bleeding gums,or any dental problem then may be yes you can get something but chances are very slim.

I'm not an expert but I would think yes since your mouth has body fluids(saliva). I wouldn't take the chance.
