Question 1

i kissed  (french) one of my female friends yesterday. if she has hiv, is there any chance to get infected?

Accepted Answer

Not from a kiss: Even "kissing of more than filial intensity" won't transmit hiv. It can give you infectious mono, cytomegalovirus, and gonorrhea as applicable. If things are to go farther, and she's really your friend, both of you hustle down and get your health status checked.

Question 2

can u get hiv from kissing? i am scared i kissed a guy at the bar

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Even if the guy has HIV, the risk of getting it from kissing is minuscule. You may visit this site for information on this topic : https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/basics/transmission.html
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex. 
Get HPV vaccine

Question 3

can you get hiv from kissing and oral sex?

Accepted Answer

No, probably not: Kissing -- no. That's a good thing. Oral sex is a very inefficient way of transmitting the disease, to either partner and whether the recipient is a man or a woman. Studies give different results but all the retrospective ones have been based on what people say they've done. However -- oral sex, especially unprotected, puts both people at risk for gonorrhea (you don't want that) and more.

Question 4

how common is to get hiv from kissing? what factors contribute to getting the virus this way?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It is very unlikely to transmit HIV by kissing, but it is possible. Hiv is in the blood. If both partners have some cracks or scrapes on the lips or inside the mouth, any canker sores, or any bleeding gums, then HIV infection can be passed. The possibility of getting infected probably increases with the amount of time spent kissing. The possibility is zero if neither person has HIV.

Question 5

can i get hiv from kissing chapped lips?

Accepted Answer

No: There's no exchange of blood, and for the wimpy HIV virus to be transmitted, there has to be some serious exchnage of body fluids.

Question 6

can you get hiv from kissing and your gums are sore but not bleeding?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: The likelihood is very very very very low.

Question 7

how rare is it for someone to get hiv from kissing with an open cut in thier to get infected. if you only frenched kissed twice but barley tongue?

Accepted Answer

You're okay: Forget "theoretical risk." people aren't catching HIV by kissing, even of more than familial intimacy. Keep playing safe.

Question 8

can you get hiv through kissing?.

Accepted Answer

HIV: No. This would be a reportable incident. HIV seldom if ever survives in saliva in which the enzymes kill the virus. Oral sex on the other hand, in which semen hits the tonsils or the back of the throat is an excellent way of transmitting this virus. Be very careful out there, but short of very direct sexual contact or exchange of blood or body parts it is almost impossible to acquire. Good luck.

Question 9

can you get hiv from casual kissing?

Accepted Answer

No: It's very clear you cannot catch HIV this way.  You can get infectious mono, CMV, herpes simplex, syphilis, and/or gonorrhea.  For syphilis, there's got to be a lesion. For the others, less so. Most folks think it's worth the risk. Best wishes.

Question 10

if you kiss someone with hiv will you get it?

Accepted Answer

Usually not: However  you should discuss it  with your  physicians. Usually a kiss will not usually transmit  HIV
