A member asked:

How many people get hiv/aids from french kissing with open sores?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Probably none: It not likely that kissing has transmitted HIV in the us. Please consult this site for information on HIV transmission. http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/basics/transmission.html.
