I can guarantee you that if he said kissing is high risk for STIs, then he is NOT an STI expert.

Don't go to that doctor. That doctor is incorrect and not educated in HIV transmission.

It's all in your head. You have not had a risk. Move along and live your life.

Kissing is not a risk in any no matter how you put it. Look on any CREDIBLE website and you'll kissing is no risk.

In adults, HIV is transmitted by:

Unprotected Anal/Vaginal Sex
Sharing IV drug equipment
Direct blood contact as in infected blood transfusions.

Uses condoms for vaginal and anal sex, and you will avoid HIV infection.
