A member asked:
Can u contract hiv from deep kisses or tongue kisses?

Possible but ex.rare: The main risk in deep kissing as far as HIV is concerned is accidental exposure to blood in your partner's mouth. If they have bleeding gums and they are HIV positive, it is possible but not too likely to acquire HIV in this way.

Rare: Hiv can be transmitted by deep kissing, especially if there is bleeding in the mouth from any sores or bleeding gums. But this is rare. It is not recommended to french kiss someone who has HIV for this reason.

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?
