Aa
is it so??
whats the risk of HIV transmission through kissing if both the parties have syphillis sore, oral warts, or herpes lesions on their lips or in mouth???
thanks for ur response Mr.Teak....but cud u answer the actual question that I asked regarding the situation..
When scientists describe the risk of transmitting an infectious disease, like HIV, the term “theoretical risk” is often used. Very simple, “theoretical risk” means that passing an infection from one person to another is possible, even though there may not yet be any actual documented cases. “Theoretical risk” is not the same as likelihood. In other words, stating that HIV infection is “theoretically possible” does not necessarily mean it is likely to happen –only that it might. Documented risk, on the other hand, is used to describe transmission that has actually occurred, been investigated, and documented in the scientific literature.
Like it's theoretically possible lightning could hit you 3 times today... Same with kissing and HIV.
thanks for ur help but what Mr.snippet I didnt get what u said...wat do u mean by saying its theoretically possible??cud u plzz elaborate more on ur answer if u dont mind...
What you say is theoretically possible. But so is lightning striking you twice today. In other words - it's not going to happen. So stop worrying about it. If you still can't let it go, see I encourage you to see a therapist.
I have heard that Hiv level is at the peak in the oral herpes sore and its a route to transmission so what I was asking was that if both have it and they kiss, then cant one transmit HIV to the other thru this???
Kissing poses no risk whatsoever, even with the named conditions. The only risk would be possibly for another std, but not HIV in any way.
lol you have the same name as me!!!
Um, no risk I believe. But wait for someone else to answer.
