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.
