can i get hiv?
A week ago, i kissed a club girl when i went out with some friends and now i really regret it. In the past few days, i became increasely nervous that i might have gotten a STD from the encounter. Today i noticed that i have a canker sore in my mouth and i feel very tired. I am sure if i had an open cut on the day i kissed the girl or if she had a cold sore or chipped lip. Now im just really scared about what is going on. Is it possible that i can get HIV from from kissing or is the signs thats showing on my body just something else???

Sry and i knew the odds were low but i am just really freaked out about the possiblities because i have read that it is possible for HIV to transmit thorugh kissing if there is blood present and one symptom of HIV is fatigue and that is what i am feeling thus i just became increasingly worried about my health. If blood is present, is it possible that a kiss may transmit HIV?
You kissed a girls and you think you think you might be at risk of HIV?
Seriously, you need to educate yourself on HIV transmission. If you have access to the internet, you'll have access to other forms of media as well. It really is unaceptable that in the 21st century people are still ignorant about how HIV is and isn't transmitted.
For the record, HIV can only be transmitted via the following routes;
1. Unprotected vaginal and anal sex.
2. In fected blood products and sharing needles.
3. Mother to baby transmission.
Educate yourself - it's the best way to protect yoursefl and others in future.
Please don't post further questions on this thread. There are no what if's and maybe's that will elicit a different answer. You will not ever become infected with HIV through kissing.
