Although studies have found tiny amounts of HIV in the saliva of some people with HIV, researchers have found no evidence that HIV is spread to other people through kissing. However, the CDC recommends against "French" or open-mouthed kissing because of the possibility of contact with blood if the people kissing have any cuts or sores in the mouth.

You cannot get HIV from kissing an infected person on the cheek. Where saliva is exchanged, it is unlikely that the virus will be transmitted. However the risk increases if an infected person has a sore or cut in the mouth. See similar questions...

The tendency of AIDS to be contacted via kissing is relatively low, however the tendency of getting infected might increase greatly if one of the persons has soar (wounds) in the mouth, soars might be sometimes very small and perhaps unnoticed. Ever since 1981(when aids first broke out) there has been only one documented case of HIV transmitted through kissing. REF: HOW AIDS CAN BE TRANSMITTED HIV and STD has a close relationship since HIV causes AIDS which is an STD. See similar questions...

HIV is not casually transmitted, so kissing on the cheek is very safe. Even if the other person has the virus, your unbroken skin is a good barrier. No one has become infected from such ordinary social contact as dry kisses, hugs, and handshakes. See similar questions...

Open-mouth kissing is considered a very low-risk activity for the transmission of HIV. However, prolonged open-mouth kissing could damage the mouth or lips and allow HIV to pass from an infected person to a partner and then enter the body through cuts or sores in the mouth.

Not likely. HIV can be found in minute amounts in saliva but in concentrations so low that it is virtually impossible to transmit infection by deep kissing. However, the possibility exists that cuts or sores in the mouth may provide direct access for HIV to enter the bloodstream during prolonged deep kissing. Therefore, blood to blood contact could occur in the mouth which then could result in HIV transmission. See similar questions...

HIV is transmitted through contact with the blood, semen, vaginal secretions or breast milk of an HIV infected person. See similar questions...

HIV transmission can occur when blood, semen (including pre-seminal fluid or "pre-cum"), vaginal fluid, or breast milk from an infected person enters the body of an uninfected person. HIV can enter the body through the anus or rectum, the vagina, the penis, the mouth, other mucous membranes (e.g., eyes or inside of the nose), cuts and sores or through a vein (e.g., injection drug use). Intact, healthy skin is an excellent barrier against HIV and other viruses and bacteria. See similar questions...

There has been one reported case of HIV transmission where a woman became infected by deep kissing a man with AIDS. The man reported his gums often bled after brushing and flossing his teeth and that after this activity, the couple often engaged in deep kissing and protected sex. Although HIV transmission most likely occurred during deep kissing, it was probably the blood in the man's saliva, not his saliva alone, that caused the infection. See similar questions...
