Question 1

if one has an unpopped blood blster on lower inside cheek near bite line, can that transmit hiv via deep mouth kissing?
2 weeks later i have aches, sore throat. strep negative. wbc total in range.

Accepted Answer

Can wait: If a person has HIV and has a blood blister, and is worried that he will spread his HIV from his blood blister to somebody else, then he can just wait until his blood blister heals before having contact with another person. This way, the HIV-infected person can have peace of mind.

Question 2

do i have hiv or herpes  a week ago kissed guy with open sore. two days later my mouth itch and burn/tingling. then gumg ache/head dizzy. im a virgin?

Accepted Answer

Neither: Neither. Both infections are silent or symptom free and take weeks to cause infection.

Question 3

is hiv transmitted by lip to lip kiss and closed mouth kiss?

Accepted Answer

No: This just doesn't happen. In the old days before effective treatment, family members never infected one another just by kissing.

Question 4

i kissed a women. i had a little pimple just under my lip, which stopped bleeding just before we kissed. i bite my inner lip also. the kiss was closed mouth. our lips touched for 2-3 sec and moved away. we did this 4 times. do i have a hiv risk?

Accepted Answer

No risk, no wirry: HIV has never been known to be transmitted by kissing, regardless of pimples, lip biting, or anything else you can think of. And for sure not with closed mouth kissing. And the likelihood any particular woman has HIV is extremely low anyway. This is nothing to worry about.

Question 5

i had recently visited a comm sex worker. i did not have any sort of sex. she kissed me with closed lips. i was having small cut on lip will i get hiv?

Accepted Answer

No: Truth be told, David, you're a grown man and you deserve to know that HIV isn't transmitted in this way. I'm glad in a way that nothing else happened except a kiss -- it's safe, and these relationships usually never lead to any real satisfaction, even temporarily.

Question 6

girl tested for hiv w/ rapid ab test, came negative. last sexual encounter was december 2022. she had saliva on her finger and touched me on scratches. also i touched her breasts that had acne. also she kissed me on my cheeks with saliva. hiv risk?

Accepted Answer

: Zero risk. What don't you understand about it?

Question 7

can you catch hiv or hepatitus from a kiss on the cheek?

Accepted Answer

Very unlikely: Saliva is a low risk body fluid and kiss on an intact skin is very unlikely to transmit HIV or hepatitis viruses.

Question 8

please tell me, could a person be exposed to hiv by kissing the cheek of an infected person?

Accepted Answer

No: You are very very unlikely to catch HIV by kissing the cheek of an infected person. The exception would be open wounds in the cheek and your lips. See this site for more info.
