I don't believe she called you and told you she had HIV.  Nonetheless, HIV is an STD too. No risk.

Stop.  No risk means no risk, even if she has it in her mouth.  I will not repeat it again.  The answer is not going to change. EWH

Repetitive question- no change in my answer.  Neither her oral hygiene, nor yours changes this fact in any way.  No risk!  EWH

[dave22001]

if she had gonorrhea in her throat could i get from french kissing her? could i get hiv from this? like i said she been around alot and she might be selling her self. only thing i have done have been french kissing her ,. she does have some bad teeth and have lost a few of them. so if she does a  std in her mouth or hiv i cant get through this way right?

THANK YOU

Welcome to the Forum. there are no STDs that are transmitted by kissing- French kissing or otherwise. In theory, if your partner had a sore on her mouth due to syphilis or a cold sore, you might acquire one of these infections.  If you did not see a sore on her lip or mouth, there is no risk of any STD and no need for testing.  I hope this response is helpful to you.  EWH
