People have got HIV through ORAL and Kissing..

There an article from a Gay author published some time ago in which he mentioned how he got HIV through oral sex and kissing.

Does this mean we are still uneducated about the transmission of HIV??

LOL, oh you'd be surprised what reasons people have to lie.  Maybe he's like so many of our posters who want to prove us wrong and make a point?  Maybe HE thinks oral or kissing is a risk and what better way to give substance to his viewpoint than to say he got HIV that way?

We got through this ALL the time.  You have NO obligation to accept our advice or information.  If you don't want to, simply don't.  We're not going to keep debating this.

I wouldn't say that others are misinformed but RJ Kowalik is an openly-gay journalist and gay rights activist, I don't think he has any reason to make up this story.
