Although this is not technically impossible, this is extremely unlikely.\nHIV needs blood or blood product transfer to be caught. An HIV infected person has very few viruses floating around in their blood and bodily fluids (compared to hepatitis, for example), so the chances that some of the virus was in the saliva on the cigarette and managed to get into the cut on your lip is very very slim. So unless you and the person you shared a cigarette with were both bleeding quite a bit, I wouldn't lose sleep over it. \nMy sister, a paramedic in NYC, has been covered with HIV positive blood twice that she knows of, and she is fine.  \nI'd worry about lung cancer from those cigarettes, though. :)

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.

No u cannot get it.HIV is transmitted ,\n1.f a person engages in sexual intercourse with an infected person without using a condom, s/he can get infected. The sexual act can be both vaginal and anal.Theoretically oral sex without condom (on men) or barriers like dental dam, vaginal dams or plastic wrap (on women) can also transmit the infection.\n2.If a person shares the needle or syringe used by/on an infected person, either for injecting drugs or drawing blood or for any other purpose involving piercing, s/he can get infected. Instruments used for piercing and tattooing also carry a small risk of infection.\n3.A person can get the infection, if he/she is given transfusion of infected blood.\n4.If surgical devices like syringes and scalpels, or even certain instruments, used on an infected person, are used on another person without proper sterilization, they can transmit the infection.\n5.An HIV positive mother can transmit the virus to child during pregnancy or birth. Breast milk can also act as a transmission-medium.\neven if it has blood on it,HIV cannot survive when exposed to open air.\nNever mess with HIV,stay safe.Also,please devolp some knowledge on HIV/AIDS,u sound ignorant,like some guy who just came from the remotest jungles of Africa.

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.

Yes there is a possibility but it is very small becuase you can not tranmit hiv through saliva so the first thing that wouldneed to happen for you to get infected is that she would have to have an open wound infection or cut of any kind in her mouth there are however several other stds that are easy to transmit through oral sex so it is allways a good idea to use a condom

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.

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.

not unless I had HIV too

OK, HIV cant be transmitted thru mosquitoes cause first: HUMAN... it exists only in humans.  It cannot exist anywhere else.  Remember that when the virus is outside person (that is in the blood) it dies, and only "reactivates" when it comes in contact with blood again (eg an open wound).  Therefore It cant live in a mosquito, cause its not human.  The article below may help.\n\n\nInsects\n\nFrom the onset of the HIV epidemic, there has been concern about transmission of the virus by biting and bloodsucking insects. However, studies conducted by researchers at CDC and elsewhere have shown no evidence of HIV transmission through insects--even in areas where there are many cases of AIDS and large populations of insects such as mosquitoes. Lack of such outbreaks, despite intense efforts to detect them, supports the conclusion that HIV is not transmitted by insects.\n\nThe results of experiments and observations of insect biting behavior indicate that when an insect bites a person, it does not inject its own or a previously bitten person’s or animal’s blood into the next person bitten. Rather, it injects saliva, which acts as a lubricant or anticoagulant so the insect can feed efficiently. Such diseases as yellow fever and malaria are transmitted through the saliva of specific species of mosquitoes. However, HIV lives for only a short time inside an insect and, unlike organisms that are transmitted via insect bites, HIV does not reproduce (and does not survive) in insects. Thus, even if the virus enters a mosquito or another sucking or biting insect, the insect does not become infected and cannot transmit HIV to the next human it feeds on or bites. HIV is not found in insect feces.\n\nThere is also no reason to fear that a biting or bloodsucking insect, such as a mosquito, could transmit HIV from one person to another through HIV-infected blood left on its mouth parts. Two factors serve to explain why this is so--first, infected people do not have constant, high levels of HIV in their bloodstreams and, second, insect mouth parts do not retain large amounts of blood on their surfaces. Further, scientists who study insects have determined that biting insects normally do not travel from one person to the next immediately after ingesting blood. Rather, they fly to a resting place to digest this blood meal.

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.

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.

Can I get HIV from oral sex? \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\nthe lining of the urethra (the opening at the tip of the penis); \nthe lining of the vagina or cervix; \nthe lining of the anus; or \ndirectly into the body through small cuts or open sores. \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\nif the person performing oral sex has cuts or sores around or in their mouth or throat; \nif the person receiving oral sex ejaculates in the mouth of the person performing oral sex; or \nif the person receiving oral sex has another sexually transmitted disease (STD). \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\nuse a latex condom on the penis; or \nif you or your partner is allergic to latex, plastic (polyurethane) condoms can be used. \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\nuse 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. \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\nuse 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. \nIf you choose to share sex toys with your partner, such as dildos or vibrators, \n\neach partner should use a new condom on the sex toy; and \nbe sure to clean sex toys between each use. \nIf you would like more information or have personal concerns, call CDC-INFO 24 Hours/Day at 1-800-CDC-INFO (232-4636), 1-888-232-6348 (TTY), in English, en Espaٌol. \n\nBut on the other hand reports say it is very minimal:\nhttp://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn1156

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.

The HIV pos partner would have to be bleeding tremendously and you would have to be drinking like a gallon of it. Saliva will kill the virus so it is not possible to get HIV from someone who kisses you  or if you drink after them.

Yes- there are many std's and diseases that can be transmitted this way, including AIDS

The best answer seems to be that HIV CAN be trasmitted via breastmilk while the hepatitis B virus CANNOT.  For both, the most common modes of transmission are 1) via contact with bodily fluids such as blood, semen, or vaginal secretions during unprotected rectal (Yahoo bleeps the more common term starting with the letter "a") or vaginal sex with an infected person, and 2)contact with the blood of an infected person while sharing contaminated IV drug injection paraphernalia.  Infection of an infant by its infected mother happens, during childbirth for both HBV adn HIV and via breastmilk for HIV, but this is much less frequent in the United States than the two major modes described above.  In high prevalence regions vertical transmission from mother to infant occurs more frequently.\n\nHIV and HBV have in the past been transmitted via contaminated donated blood and blood products, but the blood supply has been screened for both for many years now and hence is believed to be entirely safe.  People undergoing kidney dialysis are probably still at some risk contracting HBV, but this can be prevented very easily by proper decontamination of implements used during the process.  HIV is found at very low levels in saliva and tears, but no confirmed instances of transmission via contact wthi these fluids has ever been documented.  And neither virus has ever been shown to be transmitted by mosquitoes.
