No need to be petrified the next time you pucker up with your girlfriend. As long as you are both healthy, plain ol' kissing (including the deep or French variety) is highly unlikely to transmit any disease, including HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, and other STDs. \n\nWhen can you get diseases from kissing alone? Well, there's always the common cold and flu, and even mono, all of which can be passed on from an infected kisser to his or her kissee. The herpes virus that causes cold sores on the lips or inside of the mouth can be spread through kissing, too. Hepatitis B and some forms of bacterial meningitis could also be transmitted through kissing alone, but this is much less common than getting a cold or flu from swapping saliva or hand-to-hand contact with an infected person.

as long as you arent kissing them where there is an outbreak

As a virus cant be treated with antibiotics I would guess it would win. HIV seems to be winning anyway.

Usually not until it develops into AIDS.

Right.  Technically, AIDS is not sexually transmitted.  The virus that causes it, HIV, is sexually transmitted, though.

You contact HIV usually through unprotected sex, sharing needles, or blood transfusions, basically body fluids and open wounds.  Anyone is at risk for it because people who have it might not know at first and be spreading it to others, the stereotypes are usually hookers, gay people, drug users, street people but that's not really true because anyone can get it or be born with it, we just all like to think it won't happen to us.  Risky behaviors are unprotected sex, sharing needles, and open wounds that bleed and anyone else with an open wound touching something can pick up germs.  It depends on the person as to how long they live.  Some believe saliva can spread germs, others don't. I would just be all around careful if I was around someone I knew that could possibly be infected.

Your husband should be fine.  HIV is a fragile virus and can't live outside of the body.  It dies almost instantly.  So any of the virus on the bloody clothes would be dead.  If your husband had an open wound and pressed it up against your sons open would, there maybe risk.  But he was perfectly safe handling the bloody clothes.  Still, its never a safe idea to touch blood without gloves on, regarless of if it is infected with HIV.\n\nAs far as kissing goes, you can't get HIV through kissing.  The only way there would even be a SMALL risk is if it was deep kissing and there was a lesion or cut in his gum so it was blood mixed with saliva.  Even then the risk is very small.  \n\nDon't worry, unless your husband is having unprotected sex with your son, or sharing needles with him, none of you are at rist.  \n\nI've included a link to some good information about HIV and its transmition.  Taken from that link is this information.  Visit the link to find out more.\n\nCan HIV spread through kissing? \nAnswer: Kissing such as on the cheek or lightly on the lips carries no risk of transmitting HIV. In deep kissing there is a small risk because the saliva of an infected person contains few virus particles which by itself is not sufficient to cause the infection. But there could be bleeding gums or ulcers in the mouth and exchange of infected saliva mixed with blood during kissing could transmit the HIV \n\n\nHow is HIV not transmitted?  \nAnswer: HIV cannot spread by casual contact such as touching, holding hands, body contact in crowded public places, shaking hands, working or playing together, sharing food, vessels and clothes, eating food cooked by an infected person, light kissing, mosquito and other insect bites, swimming pools, and toilets.  \n\nQuestion: How long can the virus live outside the human body? \nAnswer: The Human Immunodeficiency Virus is fragile. Once the virus is outside the body in a dry form, it dies immediately. Even in a wet state, it does not live long when exposed to heat, detergents, or disinfectants. When stored in blood banks at 4°C, it can live for about 3 weeks (or longer), or till the white cell disintegrates, but in a frozen state it can survive for years.

You are safe!!!\nThe virus that causes aids cannot live for very long outside the body and then you really do need to have an open wound on your finger at just the right spot immediately after the person left the sink to even consider the outside possibility of contracting it.\nHow ever if you are still concerned about the risk all you need to do is use a paper towel to turn the water on and off.

theoretically yes, probably not...unless you have open sores or cuts in your mouth.

I would get checked out. That's straight-up nasty to begin with, but yes, disease can be spread that way.

HIV does not survive well outside of the human body. This really smells like an urban legend.

only fluid transfer causes aids, i believe saliva doesn't count but dont quote me on that

No, it was definitely not a fatal kiss. Think about how rampant the virus would actually be if it could be transmitted by kissing, sharing glasses, utensils, or toothbrushes. It takes an infected person's bodily fluids (not including saliva) to contact your mucous membranes (inside the mouth, vagina, penis, or anus) to potentially transmit HIV, the AIDS virus. No cases of HIV transmitted by kissing alone have been reported. In fact, it would take a quart size Chinese food container of saliva AT THE SAME TIME to have enough concentration of the virus to potentially be transmitted. \n\nHere are the ONLY ways you can get the AIDS virus: \n\n\nContact of infected blood, semen, or vaginal and cervical secretions with mucous membranes (i.e., sexual contact, unprotected health workers) \n\nInjection of infected blood or blood products (i.e., with shared needle) \n\nPerinatal transmission (from infected mother to fetus) \nIf you are practicing safer sex — vaginal, anal, and oral — and are not sharing needles, you should have nothing to worry about.

There is a possibility of getting an STD from anyone who is sexually active. If they have engaged in oral sex, then they are indeed sexually active. However, please note that the HIV virus rarely transmits through oral sex, as it does not survive inside saliva. It would only transmit through open cuts inside the mouth, or on the genital region. It does NOT burrow into your cheeks in any way, shape, or form. It is carried in the bloodstream, and is transmitted via Blood, seminal fluids, and vaginal fluids. \n\nIf you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact your local department of public health. Free testing is available, as well as risk reduction, and post-infection counseling

yeah if theres a cut on the lips..

It wouldn't be a direct symptom, but a symptom of a secondary infection.

I'm really not sure. You would have to cut yourself first for you to be exposed to the virus. Do you have a razor that has been infected with the HIV or AIDS virus? if you do why? And How? (if you do i strongly suggest you don't shave with it). If you don't then I'm happy for you.
