HIV transmission is unlikely in above circumstances. Other infections, such as mononucleosis, flu and COVID among many others would remain possible otherwise.

Agree with Dr. P. HIV is not a risk from kissing the check. Airborne pathogens are a risk. Get HPV, Flu and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
