HIV through CPR?

Can HIV be transmitted through CPR? My friend is HIV positive, and he also happens to be certified in CPR. If I were alone with him and something were to happen to me, and he gave me mouth to mouth CPR, would that be a risk? Does that carry the same low risk as mouth to mouth kissing?Thanks.
