Unlikely: Anything is possible, but HIV is not generally transmitted by any means other than transfer of blood or body fluids directly, and not by saliva (which contains enzymes that kill the virus). If somebody you kissed was actively bleeding from the mouth, this may conceivably occur, but very improbable. Be careful. Be safe. Be healthy.

No: I believe there has been a single case report (over the last 32 years) documenting HIV transmission from kissing, but it involved two people with poor dentition, gingivitis, and bleeding gums. Not something anyone should spend too much time worrying about. In fact, i don't even like thinking about it, after reading the case report!
