Hi guyz please enlighten me on transmission from kissing. It happened that me and a woman (unknown status) deep kissed each other and it involved mnouth to mouth cold drink transfer. Assuming she is HIV
no risk...only one reported case ever involving kissing (in 20+ years of studying the virus) and both people had severe damage and blood in their mouths. Once again, no risk.
in my mouth that I know of, and hadn't brushed my teeth for awhile. How worried should I be about HIV transmission?
ANSWER
The short answer is not at all. There are many biological reasons why transmission through deep kissing, even when tasting blood, is very, very low. Other STDs like gonorrhea, herpes and syphilis have been transmitted this way, although rarely, so get an STD check up if you haven't recently.
thanks guyz u made my day... I was worried about the cold drink.. which we shared mouth to mouth while kissing. I guess it is of no risk as well.. m i right?
