HIV & Stds - Quick question help!
Hi,
I met a girl at a strip club when a friend invited me, I met this girl and we hugged/cuddled and only kissed. I remember there may have been an exchange of salvia since we used the tongues. Her face looked pretty normal, there might have been one or two little pimples (I dont know if they are pimples, cold sores, hormones, etc).
Question: I asked my doctor and he told me there is a high risk of STD's but only a 10 to 25% risk of hiv being passed through deep kissing. We had no oral, anal, or vaginal sex. WORST CASE SCENARIO: If she does have AIDS/HIV/STDS and I deep kissed her will I get HIV & STDS. Cause my doctor said there is a 10 to 25% risk and I am pretty shocked. Moreover, he said even the sharing of utensils could spread an STD.
This is what the doctor said "If the person you select for kissing has sore or other infections in his or her mouth, it can open the door for a sexual disease in your body as well. Thus, there should be no hesitation in asking your partner about this to avoid HIV through kissing. At the same time, you must not get involved in kissing, if you have a mouth infection. It is highly likely if a partner performed oral on a prior individual that the infection may carry the disease from that individual to your partner which can ultimately be delivered through the transmission of deep kissing to yourself, however, the probability of it happening is about 10-25%, in other words, between 1 in 10 people to 1 in 4 people. Good Luck!"

If he referred that to HIV risk, he clearly had misunderstood.
But I'm not sure of STD risk. There's a separate forum for that here on MedHelp. We're HIV prevention-specific.

IT HAS NEVER EVER HAPPEND IN THE HISTORY OF HIV THAT HIV CAN BE TRANSMITTED BY DEEP KISSING.SO PLEASE MOVE ON WITH !)) PERCENT CONFIDENCE THAT YOU DO NOT GET HIV from kissing.
your doctor is absolutely wrong and his/her chances of getting HIV is ridiculos.HIV cannnot be transmitted via deep kissing no matter how deep the kiss was.saliva can in activate the virus your mouth hygiene is good and your risk is zero.
