Can I become infected with HIV from "French" kissing?

FIU University Health Services
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...
