A member asked:
My friend has aids how can aids be transmitted and if she kisses me in my cheek ( to say hi ) would i get aids too ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No risk, no worry: You cannot catch AIDS by such contact. You can hug, hiss, give back rubs, or any other sort of friendly contact you like. If you and she aren't having sex, the virus cannot be transmitted. (And even sex, between women, would probably be no risk.) Be as loving and caring as your instincts and friendship dictate. She needs your friendship and support -- don't hesitate; you will not be at risk.
