[CHRIS114742]

i french kiss  a girl 4 or 5 times over the weekend.monday she told me has hiv and showed me the paper.she had it for 8 years. she said she did that causes you can not get hiv through kissing but now im worried. it was deep kissing and i bite on my gums alot and i get sores because of that. can i get hiv or any other std from french kissing? would it be safe to kiss her again?please help

Welcome to the Forum. The information you have received on the HIV Prevention community site is correct. No one has ever gotten HIV from kissing of any sort- french kissing included . This is true even if the HIV infected person had gum disease, sores in their mouth or blood in their mouth.  HIV is not transmitted by kissing. EWH

If you read Dr.Hooks's answer again you will see he already answered this for you.

No change in my answer.  There has never been a case of HIV documented to be transmitted by kissing, with or without sores, bleeding, gum disease.  EWH

Yes it is safe to kiss her again, even if your tongues touch.  HIV is not transmitted by kissing. EWH
