A member asked:
Please tell me, could a person be exposed to hiv by kissing the cheek of an infected person?
A doctor has provided 1 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. http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/basics/transmission.html.
