A member asked:
Can deep kissing cause hiv? i visited a doctor and he said antibodies hiv needed after 3 months if i exposed to saliva exchange due to deep kissing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Kissing never transmits HIV, or so rarely that risk usually can be ignored. Saliva rarely transmits HIV: for example, oral sex by an HIV infected person has never been scientifically documented to transmit the virus to the genital partner. If your kissing partner has HIV, it would make sense to be tested for reassurance. The AgAb (4th gen, "combo") HIV tests are conclusive after 6 wk, not 3 mo.

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?
