Question:
Can u get hiv by french kissing?
Answers:
"On July 11th, 1997, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced the first case of probable transmission of HIV through kissing... to clarify the circumstances of transmission, which were quite unusual.
The case involved a man who most likely transmitted HIV to his female sexual partner through deep kissing. The source of the infection was an HIV-positive man who had a history of gum disease. He reported that his gums frequently bled after he brushed and flossed his teeth. He reported that he generally engaged in sexual intercourse and deep kissing at night after he brushed his teeth. Under these circumstances, the woman he was kissing was exposed to saliva contaminated with blood. As you will note in Frequently Asked Questions about Safe Sex and Prevention, under the question, "Which body fluids can transmit the HIV virus, and which ones don't?" it specifically states:
"Saliva, tears, sweat and urine can have the virus in them, but in such small concentrations that nobody has ever been infected through them. However, if any body fluid is visibly contaminated with blood, the risk of transmission exists." "
