Hiv cannot pass with saliva..the person has to have a blood in their mouth and you must have an open sore..Even in Oral sex this is very low risk..in kissing you can count it as a near non-existant risk

In 30 years of HIV/AIDS no one has contracted the Hiv virus from kissing under any circumstance.You won't make history and become the first.You're safe.

Not at all,that's just the common flu.Saliva contains many different proteins and enzymes that render the Hiv virus inactive and therefore unable to infect you.Also,saliva itself is not infectious.

Relax you are pure NEGATÄ°VE:) I just wanted to explain the situation that hiv passes through blood, sexual fluids, needles etc...But remember in your future relations that even if you have a protected sex try not to have it with a guy that had too many relations because hiv is not the only sexually transmitted illness..there is hpv caused warts which can lead to cancer in females etc.. so always be careful:)
