please doctors in d house can hiv b contacted  through kissing? As far as i know saliva contains a certain percentage of blood ( i rily dn't know how much) and if that is true, that means there is a 50 50 chance. So doctors, we need ur help 2 clarify this

nairalanders!!

hmmm, so poster who told u there is blood in saliva, for ur information, theres no blood in it,if not thr rate of infection would vebeen outrageous, Though u can contact if from infected person, if there are cutsin mouth or gums,
so happy kissing

if the person has an injury on the lips or gum, yea u can contact hiv/aids, but if there is no injury, its rare 2 contact unless u exchange about 4 litres of saliva during the kiss, which is just the right amount for the virus to attack the immune system. hope i av answered the question.

Where, pray, did you that information from? 4litres

its definitely not one of the ways the virus spreads but it can spread lyk that, and 4 litres is about the amount that can fight ur immune system. but gettin hiv thru kissing is very rare sha, so no fear.

Nope! But in very few case. If you both have a cut in your mouth that brings out blood,it might be a sore in the mouth etc; you might contact it.
