HIV/AIDS can’t be transmitted by French
kissing because the virus is not present
in the saliva in such large quantities as
it is in the blood, sperm or vaginal
secretions. However, if at any time
during French kissing there occurs biting
with bleeding... there is a risk for
infection. Please specify what area of
the body you are considering
"sucking"...risk factors increase or
decrease according to the location of
contact.
