can a person infected with rabies can pass the infection through kissing and sexual intercourse?

Rabies is transmitted via salvia, blood or other fluids from an infected animal or individual.\n\nRabies in humans is extremely rare.  I have never heard of a case of sexually transmitted rabies...

Yes you can. It is possible to move the virus from the location of the outbreak to other places on the body by touching the sores. Type 1 and 2 can spread to other places on the body. The eyes, moouth, genitals, and nose are the most senitive places because they are mucus membranes. But you can also get it on your finger tips called HEPATIC WITLOW.

You're an idiot dood. There is absolutely no way any virus of sexual kind could be transmitted through water, expecially water that is over 100 degress like there is in hot tubs. Hear me? NO WAY, ZIP, NADA the only thing u can contract is if you kissed them and one had oral herpes which 50 percent of the population has one type of herpes usually aquired in childhood from a virus not from sexual contact, and the other is the one with reacurring outbreaks.

You are still transferring bodily fluids from one person to another, so definitly yes you can transfer the virus through unprotected sex.  As a general rule when in doubt be safe because your life and the quality of the rest of your life may depend on it.

yes it is contagious, some are mild but many are sever, depending which organ was infected.  \n\nin addition, viarl infection are also contagious.

No- you would not be able to get an infection this way- it would have to be bodily fluids directly from the infected person to the noninfected person.

No.  There must be an exchange of body fluids to pass on HIV, and the body fluids of the HIV+ person must come in contact with the bloodstream of the other person.  \n\nIn order to pass on the disease, the scratch would have to draw blood and the HIV positive person would have to spit in the scratch or bleed into it.  A simple scratch would not pass the virus along.

TB is an extremely dangerous and contagious disease!  If you are kissing someone who has it, you need to get tested right away!  You can pass it on to your family members and other close friends!  Stop kissing the person!  Get to a doctor immediately!!!!  I am really not kidding!!!

yes, even by oral kissing\n\nAIDS-related virus spreads through kissing - Herpes\nDANIEL Q. HANEY / AP 9nov00\n\nBOSTON -- A form of the herpes virus that causes an AIDS-related skin cancer appears to spread through kissing.\n\nHerpes virus 8 was discovered six years ago and causes a skin cancer called Kaposi's sarcoma. In the United States, the cancer occurs almost exclusively in people with AIDS.\n\nSome had suspected that the virus was transmitted through sexual intercourse, but the new research from the University of Washington, reported in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine, contradicts that idea.\n\nDr. John Pauk and others tested 39 gay men who were infected with the virus but did not have Kaposi's sarcoma. They found the virus in 30 percent of their saliva samples and mouth swabs, compared with 1 percent of anal and genital samples. When present, the virus levels were also much higher in saliva than in semen.\n\n``The important thing is it suggests that oral-oral contact plays some role in transmission, although more study is needed to confirm that,'' said Pauk.\n\nThe study also found that homosexual men who engaged in ``deep kissing'' -- kissing that involves a lot of contact with saliva -- appeared to be at substantially higher risk of catching the virus.\n\nKaposi's sarcoma causes purple skin blotches and can also attack the internal organs. Like many other diseases that kill people with AIDS, it usually affects those with weakened immune systems. The virus alone rarely causes sickness among people with normal disease defenses.\n\nThe research ``definitely has public health implications for people infected with HIV,'' said Dr. Ronald O. Valdiserri of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. However, he said there was not enough data to recommend that people with HIV avoid deep kissing.\n\nThirty percent to 50 percent of HIV-infected people who catch herpes virus 8 will eventually get Kaposi's sarcoma. Kaposi's sarcoma has been present for centuries in Southern Europe, the Middle East and Africa. But it was rare in the United States until the start of the AIDS epidemic in the early 1980s.\n\nExperts say the virus is still largely confined to homosexuals in the United States, and that is why kissing has not yet spread herpes virus 8 among heterosexuals.\n\nDr. Anna Wald, another University of Washington researcher, noted that herpes virus 8 is closely related to the common Epstein Barr virus, which causes mononucleosis, long known as the kissing disease.\n\n``Teen-agers tend to get this when they start kissing,'' she said. ``The reason they get Epstein Bar virus and not herpes virus 8 is that most people have Epstein Bar virus, but relatively few have herpes virus 8.''\n\nDr. Patrick S. Moore of Columbia University, who discovered the virus, said exposure to saliva may explain the high rate of infection in parts of Africa, where more than 70 percent of people may carry herpes virus 8.\n\nOther forms of the herpes virus cause chicken pox, shingles, cold sores and genital herpes.

Its virus and spread from infection with unsafe sex and infected blood exchange/ transmission from infected person.

yes you can. it is not a sexualy transmited disease but it can be transmitted sexual.  but just because you got it does not mean he gave it to you.  some times it just happens on its own.

aids, hepatitis, herpes, on and on and on... honey don't worry about it! you get more germs for shaking someones hand than kissing! no kidding!!!!

Yes, you definitely can.   Oral gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, aids, just to mention a few.  Saliva and semen or vaginal fluids are body fluids and are how sexually transmitted diseases are transmitted.  I applaud you for asking and wish more people would before doing this.  Oral sex is sex.  Any contact, genitals to genitals, or mouth to genitals is sexual contact and diseases can be spread this way.  There was a major outbreak or oral gonorrhea in a town near where I live a couple of years ago.  It was tracked back to being originated from a private school and the teenagers who were spreading it like wildfire from one to another didn't feel they were sexually active because they were having oral sex.  Sex is sex, oral or not.  Abstinence is best, but if you aren't going to abstain, PLEASE BY ALL MEANS PROTECT YOURSELF.

If the infected genitalia was never in contact with the vagina she will not be infected, but if the guy has oral herpes also and gives oral sex to the girl then she will be infected

AIDS is a very deadly disease with a 100% death rate. It is transmitted through body fluids like blood and sexual fluids. there is almost no way of getting AIDS from kissing. the only way might be if she has cuts or sores in her mouth and you have cuts and sores also. sweat or urine dosn't transmit it eather.

YES you can most definitely contract the HIV infection through oral sex....any exposure you have with an infected persons bodily fluids exposes you to the dangers...if you are giving oral sex and the person releases there fluids into your mouth it is the same thing as being exposed to the infected persons blood...so be careful...you should always use protection when performing any type of sexual function...oral or penetration...

Can I get HIV from kissing?\n\nOn the Cheek:\n\nHIV is not transmitted casually, so kissing on the cheek is very safe. Even if the other person has the virus, your unbroken skin is a good barrier. No one has become infected from such ordinary social contact as dry kisses, hugs, and handshakes.\n\nOpen-Mouth Kissing:\n\nOpen-mouth kissing is considered a very low-risk activity for the transmission of HIV. However, prolonged open-mouth kissing could damage the mouth or lips and allow HIV to pass from an infected person to a partner and then enter the body through cuts or sores in the mouth. Because of this possible risk, the CDC recommends against open-mouth kissing with an infected partner.\n\nOne case suggests that a woman became infected with HIV from her sex partner through exposure to contaminated blood during open-mouth kissing.\n\nFor more information refer to the July 11, 1997, Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report “Transmission of HIV Possibly Associated with Exposure of Mucous Membrane to Contaminated Blood” located at ftp://ftp.cdc.gov/pub/Publications/mmwr/wk/mm4627.pdf.\n\nCan I get HIV from oral sex?\n\nYes, it is possible for either partner to become infected with HIV through performing or receiving oral sex. There have been a few cases of HIV transmission from performing oral sex on a person infected with HIV. While no one knows exactly what the degree of risk is, evidence suggests that the risk is less than that of unprotected anal or vaginal sex.\n\nIf the person performing oral sex has HIV, blood from their mouth may enter the body of the person receiving oral sex through\n\n    * the lining of the urethra (the opening at the tip of the penis);\n    * the lining of the vagina or cervix;\n    * the lining of the anus; or\n    * directly into the body through small cuts or open sores. \n\nIf the person receiving oral sex has HIV, their blood, semen (cum), pre-seminal fluid (pre-cum), or vaginal fluid may contain the virus. Cells lining the mouth of the person performing oral sex may allow HIV to enter their body.\n\nThe risk of HIV transmission increases\n\n    * if the person performing oral sex has cuts or sores around or in their mouth or throat;\n    * if the person receiving oral sex ejaculates in the mouth of the person performing oral sex; or\n    * if the person receiving oral sex has another sexually transmitted disease (STD). \n\nNot having (abstaining from) sex is the most effective way to avoid HIV.\n\nIf you choose to perform oral sex, and your partner is male,\n\n    * use a latex condom on the penis; or\n    * if you or your partner is allergic to latex, plastic (polyurethane) condoms can be used. \n\nStudies have shown that latex condoms are very effective, though not perfect, in preventing HIV transmission when used correctly and consistently. If either partner is allergic to latex, plastic (polyurethane) condoms for either the male or female can be used. For more information about latex condoms, see "Male Latex Condoms and Sexually Transmitted Diseases."\n\nIf you choose to have oral sex, and your partner is female,\n\n    * use a latex barrier (such as a natural rubber latex sheet, a dental dam or a cut-open condom that makes a square) between your mouth and the vagina. A latex barrier such as a dental dam reduces the risk of blood or vaginal fluids entering your mouth. Plastic food wrap also can be used as a barrier. \n\nIf you choose to perform oral sex with either a male or female partner and this sex includes oral contact with your partners anus (analingus or rimming),\n\n    * use a latex barrier (such as a natural rubber latex sheet, a dental dam or a cut-open condom that makes a square) between your mouth and the anus. Plastic food wrap also can be used as a barrier.\n\nIf you choose to share sex toys with your partner, such as dildos or vibrators,\n\n    * each partner should use a new condom on the sex toy; and\n    * be sure to clean sex toys between each use.\n\nIf you
