Question 1

can i get infected by kissing a person with hiv?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It is uncommon to pass 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 can be passed. The possibility of getting infected increases with the amount of time spent kissing.

Question 2

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 3

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 4

during sexual intercourse how a man can get infected if he don't kiss or uses his mouth (the girl has hiv) only penis to vagina contact without condom?

Accepted Answer

Here are...: Sexual intercourse is the ideal set-up to contract STD especially like HIV because vaginal penetration is highly possible to microscopically break the natural barrier - skin - for body fluid exchange. So, beware the reality, practice safe sex with all possible available means at all cost, and don't let wishful thinking work on you.  So, watch, see, and be tested as needed. Ask Doc timely.

Question 7

can someone be infected with hiv , through kiss? a hiv + with high viral load. can someone be infected through kisses?

Question 8

thanks in advance..

i have a question.

a girl of unknown hiv status if suck and kiss a guys nipple, will there be any chance of he getting infected, if she is infected with hiv.

thanks in advance.

Accepted Answer

No risk, no worry: Without intercourse, there is never any significant risk of HIV transmission, and certainly not by the contact described. The mouth and saliva almost never transmit HIV. Even oral sex is safe, i.e. no known HIV cases proved to have been transmitted from mouth to genital contact.

Question 9

i have gingivitis and i kissed an unknown girl deep in the mouth, if she had hiv, is there a chance i got infected?

Accepted Answer

: HIV is a blood to blood contact transmission. If your gums bleed on contact and she also has bleeding gums than there is a risk in being infected. Just plain kissing will not cause infection because the HIV virus doesn't survive in saliva. Be careful who you choose as a partner in future and practice safe sex always.

Question 10

can you give hiv or std by kissing your girlfriend if your infected. if infected is sinus infection related to std or hiv? or what std would it be?

Accepted Answer

This isn't sex: Sinusitis isn't going to be a sexually transmitted disease. If you've got a steady girlfriend, you life has taken a wonderful turn and i'm happy for you both. Now isn't the time to be fretting about catching something. Why not get together and affirm your relationship by having a physician check you both for HIV and other possible illnesses, so you can stop fretting?
