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.

The only way that you can contract the AIDS virus is if you come into comtact with Blood, Urine, Semen, or vaginal fluids of an infected person. Saliva does not have the concentration that is high enough for you to get it from kissing on the mouth.

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.

Most surely. I you are exposed to blood, semen, or any other discharge that might be present, and if there are open cuts or sores on the lips or the glans, then STD's can be contracted, even HIV. Herpes can be contracted this way as well if the sores are on the "head".\nYour best call for safety... stay "clean" and wear a condom.

Most of the answers I have read are correct. The most dangerous times of spreading a STD by kissing is when it is a deep kiss (French kiss) soon after eating. Chewing normally makes the gums bleed so just about any STD that are associated with body fluids can be transmitted at this time.

I see a lot of different answers, some a common theme.\n\nHIV is caught primarily through the blood of an infected person with the HIV virus going directly into the bloodstream of a person who is not infected. Therefore, oral sex.... minimal risk. I say minimal because the virus is destroyed if it goes into the stomach however if there are open cuts/sores/ulcers in the mouth and there is blood contact, there is a small chance. SMALL.\n\nRegarding the condom breaking - again there needs to be direct fluid transfer into the bloodstream. Depending on how rough the sex is, there could be abrasions/ raw areas in either the vagina or anal area that may act as a transmission area. \n\nAll the transmission rates are dependent on the person who has HIV though. If their viral load ( the amount of virus in their bloodstream) is low... then again, risk is SMALL. Note please that I do not use the words... NO RISK

There has never been a reported case, although in theory it is possible but extremely unlikely. You would have a better chance of winning the lottery even if the person was gushing blood.\nGiving head is a low risk factor but is still a risk, risk is about the same as getting in a car accident (at least that’s the odds quoted from the GMHC). I do not think you need to be tested if that’s all you did because you will not have HIV from getting head. Intercourse for the male (or top) without a condom is also a risk and is slightly riskier than oral and of course receiving anal sex without a condom is a 50/50 chance if the man has HIV and is a very high risk activity. If every time you kiss or hold hands or something safe and you become frightened to the point it affects your life than this would be considered a phobia and counseling would be recommended.

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.

Aids, hepatitis, and pretty much any other blood-borne pathogen. They can all be transmitted by blood contact.

Hepititis C in not like HIV in the sense that it usually specifically attacks your liver. HIV can cause many ailments. It is like HIV in the sense that it is a sexually transmitted disease.

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!!!!

tell me .. do you inspect your partner's mouth for abrasions or ulcers or check your own mouth for the same?\n\nThere exists the potential for transmission of HIV / Hep B in kissing .. so avoid it with strangers...\n\nWould you like to risk it?

that is inflamation of the liver, either acute or chronic. There is an A,B,C,and D virus. Causes are alchohal abuse, use of certain chemicals and drugs and autoimmune disorders. Virus A is transmitted by drinking water eating food after that person. Viruses B,C,and D are are usually spread by blood products also spread through sexual contact.there is a vaccine for type B and one in progress for type A( i hope i get best answer)

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...

Herpes can be spread through kissing. Anytime bodily fluids are mixed there is a chance. The only way to avoid getting STD's at all is bY TiTTiE FUC*KING! AND LETTING HIM FU*CK YOU IN THE NOSE AND EAR TILL YOUR BRAIN IS NUMB!

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.
