second_opinion Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Hey, just a quick question, can you get AIDS or HIV from kissing someone, i mean like pashing them (using tongue) or is it just through intercourse? Just a question my girls and I were arguing about. Link to comment
darkblue Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Possibly... It's extremely rare - you have to exchange a LOT of saliva... and I think it may even have been due to bleeding gums. Link to comment

second_opinion Posted January 8, 2006 Author Share Posted January 8, 2006 and oh...i forgot to add in one thing....if you were dating a new guy, how do you ask them if they have anything?? Link to comment
darkblue Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 You won't get HIV from a simple kiss. Most scientists agree that although transmission of HIV through deep or prolonged kissing may be possible because of potential blood contact, it would be unlikely. Link to comment
darkblue Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 If you are in a relationship - it is not uncommon or untactful to ask your partner: How many partners they have 'been with' If they know of any STDs they may have Whether or not they have been tested Link to comment
second_opinion Posted January 8, 2006 Author Share Posted January 8, 2006 oh i see, thank you for your help! Link to comment
miracle29 Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 If the partner you're with has nothing to hide, they will gladly get tested with you. If they shy away from this, I could bet you cockroach to a corner that they probably have something they don't want you to know about. I'd rather ask someone and offend them, then to contract something from them just because I was afraid to stand up for my health. Not only should you suggest a test but if they are clean, they'll go for it. Better safe than sorry! I know a woman who contracted Herpes from her no good dog of a boyfriend and he was her first. She never had unprotected sex or sex with anyone but him. She found out he cheated on her and had been hiding this from her the whole time. He got treated but infected her because its not curable. Sadly she lives with this to this day and she was a good person, so kind she was afraid to ask him to get tested. I 'm sure if she could she would have done things differently but its too late now...Don't forget AIDS is not the only STD out there. In fact you can't look at someone and say "oh yeah he's got something or she looks like an HIV girl to me". People are very good at hiding things they wish to hide. So cover yourself and worry about their feelings later, when the test results come back in. Your life is not worth risking. So you stand up for yourself and be strong. Ask and ask away.

Hanz33 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 The statistics are that you would have to drink approximately 100 letres of saliva to catch HIV from Saliva. THing being it only takes one cell but these are the odds. Link to comment

darkblue Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 01-09-2006, 01:49 PM Shady_Forever Dont Take The Chance I really wish people would read post dates on items before responding. It shows up on people's control panels and brings them back when they think there's a response to a topic, when really it's the bump of a long dead post. Link to comment
