HIV and saliva risk : HIV is thought not to be transmitted by saliva . If your friend had bleeding, his blood could pose a risk, but your canker sores would not be expected to pick up the virus from his saliva alone . https://www.aids.gov/hiv-aids-basics/hiv-aids-101/how-you-get-hiv-aids/ Here's a reference on how you can and cannot get HIV. If you're healthy, make sure your partners are too !! Take care !! Get tested

Some: If you are worried get tested no matter how small the risk since timely treatment , if needed, makes a huge difference in disease progression.

A member asked:
If one brushed teeth before and deep kissed the another, what's the possibility of HIV transmission? Assuming one is positive and that there have been little bleeding, and cuts in the other mouth? Are cases like this recorded? Is saliva inactivating?
