No: That just doesn't happen. During the old days, families with a positive member who was loaded with the virus would kiss as families should and nobody caught it. Period.

Question 9

can you infected with aids by kissing.  how long after sexual contact can i be tested? thank you

Accepted Answer

No: No, it is very unlikely to get infected with HIV (which causes aids) by kissing (assuming closed mouth kissing).  Open mouth kissing may place you at higher risk if the hiv-infected person has an open bleeding sore that you come in contact with.  However, this is very unlikely.  Regarding getting HIV tested after sexual contact, it depends on your perceived risk of the person. I recommend 3-6 mos.

Question 10

is it possible to catch aids or hiv from french kissing?  is it unpredictable, sort or russian roulette?

Accepted Answer

No: Hiv is not found in high enough concentrations in saliva to cause infection, so kissing cannot transmit the virus, even if you both have chapped lips.  If one person has active bleeding on the lips, then that is possible, but why would you kiss someone who's lip was bleeding?  Truth is, there have been no known cases of HIV being transmitted from kissing.
