Extremely unlikely: Unless there is visible blood in saliva, it is not considered a body fluid through which HIV can be transmitted.

Highly unlikely: HIV is essentially a blood borne virus and not usually transmitted by saliva.An infectious disease specialist is best qualified to answer your question,however.
