just a quick question
a month back I french kissed a woman(no active bleeding was there for either of us), she recently did a blood test, she told she is neg for HIV and HBV but positive for HCV. My question is can HCV transmit through french kissing. Kindly clarify
Bleeding gums are not always easy to recognize. And white blood cells are present in saliva. If saliva carries a viral load or white cells can carry active virus, you might have a small chance at the kiss of a lifetime. Who knows?
