Can HIV -AIDS be transferred thru saliva and other body fluids?

Current doctors say YES it can, although the chances are very minimal.  Basically it works the opposite - they have not yet proven that it cannot be transferred through these fluids, so just be careful until they prove otherwise.

Although all bodily fluids have potential for viral infection, saliva and urine are unlikely routes.  Not impossible, just unlikely.

Herpes is the big one. The only way you can gets aids from an oral transfer is if you have any sores in your mouth, on your lips,gums, tongue, etc. His infected fluids have to get into your bloodstream directly to infect you with aids.  You should not be giving oral sex to someone if you have the slightest suspicion they have something. They may look perfectly 'clean' and normal and still be carrying something. Take care of yourself.

HIV (human immunodefiencency virus) can only be transmitted through direct contact with blood or body fluids. (sexual intercourse, oral sex, sharing needles, etc.) it is unusual for HIV to be transmitted through kissing, although it is possible if one or both people have cuts, cold sores, or other open areas in the mouth or on the lips. you can not get HIV from hugging, or other contact like it. You should go to a good website for more information on HIV prevention, testing, and treatment.

Aids is a disease that is spread through intercourse with different partners during sexual acts, or sharing dirty infected needles for drug useage, or even from bodily fluids being exchanged... \n\nSource(s):\nHIV is transmitted through direct contact of a mucous membrane or the bloodstream with a bodily fluid containing HIV, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluid, preseminal fluid or breast milk. This transmission can come in the form of: (anal or vaginal) sex; blood transfusion; contaminated needles; exchange between mother and infant during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding; or other exposure to one of the above bodily fluids.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/aids...

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.

The key is for certain bodily fluids to be exchanged between two people -- one of whom has HIV.\n\nMajor ways include:\na) Unprotected sex (certain types are riskier than others).  This includes M/M (probably highest risk), F/F and F/M (probably the greatest current source of spread).\nb) Blood transfusions in the early 80s (not now);\nc) IV drug abuse with shared needles;\nd) Accidental exposure of health care workers (needle stick, surgery nick)\ne) HIV positive moms to newborns.\n\nOther ways that are, at least in theory, possible (if very rare or undocumented): \na) contaminated medical instruments (there is thought to be one case in Florida with dental intruments that had not been properly sterilized)\nb) Any other fluid exchange.  For example kissing is thought to be very low risk.  OTOH, if both persons had open wounds inside the mouth...\nc) Blood to blood contact (i.e., boxing).

First of all, you can't get AIDS... you can get HIV, which destroys your immune system over time and once that immune system is obliterated you are now considered AIDS positive. So, to answer your politically correct question: You CANNOT get HIV by kissing, transfering saliva, etc. You can get it by sharing needles during drug use, etc., having unprotected and sometimes even protected sex, crossing blood with an HIV+.

AIDS is a syndrome associated with the HIV virus, which has been isolated to a population of chimps in Africa. How it transferred from chimps to humans is anyone's guess, but my assumption would be that it was not through Homo-Pan sexual relations. I suppose the virus could pass through eating raw infected meat.

There are a few STDs such as papillomavirus (warts) and herpes that you can easily acquire by oral contact.  While Hiv has been isolated from saliva, I have never heard of a case of someone getting it from making out.  I would only worry about that if you or the person you made out with had any open sores in your mouth or bad gingivitis (bleedy gums).  As AIDS is a syndrome resulting from HIV infection, all of the above applies to that.  My suggestion, be careful who you make out with, but don't worry.  Herpes and warts are treatable, and it is VERY unlikely you would get HIV from making out.  What a lot of people don't know though is that you can get HIV from oral sex!  So be careful!!!!

HIV/AIDS is spread through body fluids (ie blood, semen, vaginal fluids) as well as from used infected needles.  If someone who is HIV positive is giving a facial massage, you cannot contract it simply by them touching you.  However, if they have a cut on their hand and you have an open sore on your body, it is possible to contract it that way.  But even in that case there still has to be enough active HIV components in the blood in order to affect you.  If this is a personal experience for you, sounds like you are worrying over nothing.  If your mind still isn't at ease, wait about two months and get tested!

No, mosquitoes cannot transmit AIDS. This is because in order for it to transfer, it would have to stay alive inside the mosquito, but it's block by it's salivary glands, so it's like, killed. This is the way for them to survive. Any mosquito that sucks an HIV positive blood, would completely kill the virus so it doesn't harm themselves. Learned this today in Science! I'm so proud I learned something!

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.

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.

Any sexual contact, including oral, can transmit STDs. If he was to have AIDS or HIV, whether he got it through sexual contact or somehow else, he could transmit it through blood-vaginal fluids contact. Let's say if he had a cut in his mouth or tongue and made contact with your vagina, he could transmit it. It's not very likely, but it could happen.

No.\n\nAs other have said, HIV transmisison requires much more than "touching" a person with "full blown AIDS".  It requires the exchange of infected bodily fluids; blood, semen, vaginal excretions, breast milk, etc.  This isn't the Star Trek episode that depicted an illness that was transmitted though sweat.\n\nAlso, HIV lives for a very short time outside the body--mere seconds at most; not 24 hours.\n\nFinally, if merely touching someone with AIDS could transmit HIV many, many more people would have HIV.  More than likely, we all know someone with HIV or knows someone who knows someone or knows someone who knows someone who knows....  well, you get the idea....

HIv/Aids is a puzzle in our society, saliva transfer is highly unlikey but does exsist. Any open sores or cuts maybe you bit your jawl there is a possiblity. Herpes YES. Oral sex is being offered up as a safe way to avoid the issues of PVI ( penile vaginal intercourse) but that is not the case. While you may likely not get AIDS or HIV you will probably get Herpes or other Viruses. Use a dental dam or other protective products, have yourself and partner tested regularly for STD's. Your best resource is your doctor.
