question fo teak

Hi Teak

I am asking this purely because i know you have alot of knowledge not because i disagree.

Its on French kissing you state there is NO RISK even if Hiv positive partner has blood in mouth and the neg partner has small cut but the CDC website states this is possible and there is a documented case of this and HIV Pos people are advised against french kissing. I dont understand as you teach for them?

Would it have to be both patners bleeding alot iv read dr hhh sayin ti would need to be like a bloodfest something out of a vampire movie in this case would you still say no risk?

Thanks for th good work your doing educating people.

Saliva contains over a dozen different proteins and enzymes that inhibits HIV transmission. Now move along.

she is arguing blood to blood contact (blood to cut in mouth) iv said it has to be huge amounts of blood in BOTH people mouth but she wont listen!

Can you give me better answer for her as someone who teaches for CDC thanks

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child

Actually the reason i wanted to clarif is one of my gfs is hiv positive and she kisses us girls all the time, and one of my other friennds heard u can and she is bein bitchy to this girl now for kissin her i stuck up for her sayin u cant and she said the CDC says you can! I eplyed with no thats just stigma iv been kissed by her loads of times and have tested neg latest bein 9 weeks after kiss n she still dont belive me

Thanks Lizzie

I was not disagreeing i was just confused because cdc and avert and stuff say it is a risk any blood getting into blood stream through cut is enough to transmit then reading comments like dr hhh stating that it would have to be a major amounts of blood in both peoples mouths to transmit then people saying no risk at all in any circumstance i wanted to know what was correct

"Kissing is no risk, even deep ("French") kissing and even with a person who sores on their mouth or has gum or dental disease."   DR HOOK

"Of course no risk. HIV is not transmitted by kissing, even with sores in the mouth.

Despite the billions of kissing events in the AIDS era, not one case of HIV has been known to be transmitted that way, even though millions of those kisses undoubtedly were with cuts in the mouth or on the lips."  
DR HANDSFIELD

as far as "reported" cases...ppl lie about their exposures.
