A follow-up question. is it pep recommended in case after french kissing someone whose status is unknown?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Kissing,even French kissing, is not considered likely to transmit HIV as saliva acts as a barrier or destroyer of the virus even if it were present. If you still have concerns, get tested.
