If that were the case I would be HIV+!. I ave been in a relationship for 12 years with someone who is HIV+!. I work as a HIV Educator and Trainer of programs for and about HIV and we tell people no!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Without being too technical, HIV is caused by a human retrovirus which is transmitted by body fluid to body fluid (as in blood or semen) contact!. Virtually every study says that just kissing will not spread HIV!. Saliva is not considered a likely source!. Nor are tears!. But if you kiss someone with HIV and they have an open blood source (gums or tongue) and you have the same, then there is a slight possibility of transmission!.
But, hey, I'm no expert so I defer to the dozens of articles on this!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

HIV is not transmitted by saliva!. The only way kissing an infected person would be a risk would be if you both have open cuts, bleeding gums, or other open wounds in your mouths!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Unless they have a cut in their mouth/lips, or you kiss them on the genitals resulting in a happy ending!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
