AIDS is the disease caused by the HIV virus.\n\nYou can get infected with HIV if the virus passes into your body from someone else who is already infected.\n\nThere are two main ways this can happen:\n\n1. Through having unprotected (no condom) vaginal or anal sex with someone who has HIV. Oral sex carries a small risk of transmission. There has never been a reported case of transmission through kissing (even deep kissing).\n\n2. Through someone else's infected blood getting directly into your bloodstream, for example through sharing drug or tattoo needles or injecting equipment, or piercing with unsterile equipment. In the first half of the 1980s a number of people were infected from contaminated blood transfusions, but this is very rare now because blood donations are screened. Sometimes HIV is passed from an infected mother to her foetus either in the womb or during birth.\n\nYou CANNOT get HIV through normal non sexual contact, or from sharing eating utensils or from mosquitoes.

All the same ones you can get from vaginal or anal sex.  The probability of say HIV/AIDS, or other fluid transmitted disease is low but can happen. It is most dangerous if you have open sores in or near your mouth.  Other things like herpes, gonorrhoea and such can be transmitted to the mouth or around the mouth.  Advise is to be sure of your partners STD status and use protection for all sexual activity.\n\nTerry

It is possible to transmit AIDS by saliva but not very often.  It's more often transmitted by blood or sexually.  AIDS is an STD.  People often transmit it by using already used needles.  It's more likely to be transmitted by kissing if you have an open wound in your mouth, like a cut on your lip.

Nope, just in the unlikely situation that both kissing ends have oral ulcers that are bleeding, Otherwise no. AIDS is transmitted sexually, vertically( from mother to fetus),  by sharing needles used for drugs(most common in prisons), and by getting blood transfusion frim an infected donor.

Actually, nothing happens to a person w/ HIV......  It's only when it turns into full-blown AIDS that the body's immune system is compromised, then the person could get sick and die from any one of a zillion diseases, because the body cannot fight them off.

Possible. One can have HIV infection from infected blood or sexual fluids. If you happen to touch  an infected blood or sexual fluid and you accidentally touch your wound (if you have one) or you happen to touch the part of your sex organ that is most sensitive to the virus (by having sex with yourself as you said??), then you might get HIV...Just making an analysis.

My boy you can get far more than STD's by doing that. But yes, you can get HIV as people often have some skin breaks in that area and Hepatitis C. You can also get Hepatitis A and B as well as a very serious bacterial infection, parasites, and the likes.\n\nYou really just shouldn't stick your tongue in places like that.

Unprotected sex does not automatically mean you will get AIDS.  You can only catch AIDS if you have unprotected sex with someone who is already infected with AIDS.

firstly, you dont get AIDS you get HIV, which is the virus that causes AIDS. for HIV to become aids it takes about 9 to 10 years.\n\nsecondly i think answers to french kissing was good enough (especially the one by scorpio_draconis, which i will repeat)\n\n"Yes, and no. It depends on the given circumstances. AIDS is a "Blood-transferred" disease, not saliva. However, if one who is infected has an open sore/ canker/ cold sore in his/her mouth, it is possible (Although extremely improbable) that they can transmit the disease that way. "\n\nbut ill add that the chances are greater if both sides have a sore/cut/open wound etc. \n\nnow onto oral sex (or licking as you put it)\n\naccording to a study in the US (http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/rr5402a1.htm)\nchances of catching HIV is one in ten thousand (1/10,000) if you are performing oral sex on someone else, and one in twenty thousand (1/20,000) if somebody is performing oral sex on you (either case the person who receives oral sex, rather than performing it, is a male. so there are no "official" figures for performing oral sex on a vagina)\n\nin short, yes you can catch HIV from both french kissing and oral sex (performing or receiving) which may eventually develop into AIDS.

Hi buddy,\n\nThe HIV virus is a very fragile virus that gets easily killed on drying or contact with ordinary toilet soap or even very dilute spirit.The world wide fear of this infection is not because it gets easily transmitted or that its a tough virus to kill.Its just because the virus attacks the patient's immune system. Death in an HIV infected person comes in the form of other diseases that attack the person when his body's defence mechanisms are in a weak state.\n Human saliva is not demonstrated by research to contain enough load of virus as to cause infection to another person ingesting it. There is a theoretical possibility of the virus getting transmitted thru deep kissing, if the kisser has a mouth ulcer. The virus in that case has a (very small) chance to enter the body of the individual thru this open wound in the mouth. Still the virus may not survive the variable pH levels and salt concentrations of the human saliva.   And all the more, the probability of this type of  transmission is less than 0.01% . In day to day life that kind of probability is considered as ZERO chance...!  Hence we, healthcare workers don't consider saliva as a potential source of infection. Like wise, the chance of a mosquito transmitting the virus is somewhere near 0.004%..!!\n\nRegarding Web sources on AIDS, the United Nations' website is the ultimate knowledge bank ... Log on to www.unaids.org and find a wealth of info and links.\nAll the best.\nBye.

It is theoretically possible, yes.  However, there have been *NO* confirmed cases of HIV transmission through oral sex and the risk of this type of transmission is very, very low.

The risk of contracting HIV here is very low... but if your girlfriend had HIV and she was bleeding from an open sore inside her mouth and you ingested some of her blood (EVEN a microscopic amount) then there is some chance you could contract the virus but the odds are against it. Why take chances with your life?

You can get AIDS/HIV at any age if it was transmitted maternally, if you rub up to your partner with an STD naked, even if there is no sexual intercourse. STD's should be carefully evaded, but remember that life is to short not to live.

The risk of HIV transmission from an infected partner through oral sex is much smaller than the risk of HIV transmission from anal or vaginal sex. Because of this, measuring the exact risk of HIV transmission as a result of oral sex is very difficult. In addition, since most sexually active individuals practice oral sex in addition to other forms of sex, such as vaginal and/or anal sex, when transmission occurs, it is difficult to determine whether or not it occurred as a result of oral sex or other more risky sexual activities. Finally, several co-factors can increase the risk of HIV transmission through oral sex, including: oral ulcers, bleeding gums, genital sores, and the presence of other STDs.

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

Not much research has been done on this - so no one really knows. But any exchange of bodily fluids and there is a risk of infection. My guess would be you may risk not only bacterial and viral infection; but more likely fungal infection too. It is doubtful if HIV can be transmitted by oral - but no one really knows for sure. Sexual intercourse has proved a health risk for girls at a very young age - cervical damage - leading to cervical cancer in later life. Anal sex obviously, spreads infection like HIV.
