Every time my boyfriend and I kiss, he uses alot of tongue. And sometimes I end up with alot of his spit in my mouth, and I swallow it. He's not a virgin, but he swears he's been tested and that he doesn't have any diseases or anything. But I'm really, really scared. He's 15, and I'm 13. I'm seriously freaking out here.

No. AIDS can not be passed by saliva. Well to be entirely truthful, HIV can be found to be present in the saliva, but there are no recorded cases of transmission via saliva, or for that matter, tears and urine. However that is not the same for all types of infections.
If you want some real truth about HIV and AIDS, and not the usual lines the drug companies want you to have, check out Peter Duesberg. It's very informative.

First of all, AIDS (Acquired Immune deficiency syndrome) is just a collaboration of many symptoms and infections that come from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Just so you know, its HIV that your worried about. Technically, the answer is no. Traditionally the HIV virus can only survive in fluid where immune system cells are located like blood, semen, vaginal fluid, preseminal fluid, and breast milk. Human saliva is mostly water. Water transports electrolytes, mucus, antibacterial compounds and various enzymes. Immunoglobulins, which are used by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign objects, such as bacteria and viruses, are one of the main reasons it can't survive in saliva. However, if blood where to be in the saliva, and sometimes it takes the smallest amount, the virus can survive for way longer outside of the body which means it can survive a little longer during its intergration into a non-infected individials body.
Long story short, because he's 15, he'd need a guardian there to get tested. Thats really hard to get around in most states unless hes got an older relative that posed or an older friend. I don't know your reason to fear but whatever it is, its better to be safe then sorry. You have your whole life ahead of you!!

Yes it can be passed through saliva. Saliva contains the HIv virus but the amount of saliva passed when kissing is not sufficient enough to make any effect on the person. exception to this is are if both partners have open sores on there mouths or if your gums were bleeding and blood was passed.

If a person is HIV positive, the virus is present in most all of their bodily fluids.
And there are traces of it in saliva, but not as much as you would find in blood or semen.
If you both have open sores in your mouths, then, yes, you are at risk.
Ask him to show you a copy of his HIV test result.
Chances are, you would NOT get the disease from kissing.
But If he's as sloppy with his spit as you say, I'd be turned off, too!

Some people have said that hypothetically it is possible to spread HIV through saliva. However, this has never in the entire history of the disease been known to actually happen. You should not worry about it.
If you start having sex (any kind, including oral) then you should start worrying. Make sure he wears a condom every time and make sure he gets tested AND shows you his results. Don't just take his word for it. Boys are known to lie on occasion.

first of all ewwwww.
second of all if you are that freaked out, going to your pediatrician and ask them to give you an aids test so you can calm your nerves. it is confidential and your parents even if your mother takes you to the doctor, will not be disclosed your business.
make this a practice because it sounds like with all that heavy kissing, you two are about to be doing the grown up real soon. and although people will tell you you are too young and just wait, that is going to ignored by you. learn about the practice of safe sex. read and go online about how std's are contracted and what signs and symptoms to look for.
educate yourself because if you are going online asking about an issue that should be discussed with your parents, clearly shows that you guys have a barrier. be safe.
third of all ewwww. that is nasty to have someone elses spit in your mouth. homeboy needs to learn how to kiss. ugggh i feel nausious

Do 15 year olds commonly have AIDS tests?
Sounds like to me at 13 you need to get someone else he seems pervy.

First, the probability of getting HIV from saliva is small. Second, he's only 15, so I doubt he has HIV. Third and most importantly, he's a really sloppy kisser. Gross.

you can only get it if you swollow a bucket full of his spit
you can catch other infections of deases by kissing
if you are worried you should go to the GUM clinic and get tested
they are normally in hositals. soa ll you need to do is go to your local hospital and find the GUM area.. tell them you want to book an appointement and then you can get tested. if you live in the UK then its free.. if USA then i havent a clue
