Q: Catching Hiv From French Kissing

Hi all,

i have just got back from faleraki, and while there I encourtered I really fit girl, but she looked like the drug abuse type of person (if you know what I mean).

Anyways, in the club I french kissed her and completly forgot about my mouth ulcer on the lower side of my mouth(it was not bleeding).

At first, I thought you cannot catch hiv from kissing, but apparently, if you have a open sore, and the recipient has an open sore, there is a slight risk of a small blood transfusion taking effect. Although there was no taste or obvious visual signs of blood present, I still feel, the alchohol could have hidden these clues.

Please could someone with good knowledge tell me whether I need to have a sdt check performed, asap, because I becoming extremely anxious over this matter.

I am probably being stupid, but the thought of knowing I could be at rist is killing me.

Yes there is a chance of catching hiv from open sores in the mouth so if you are anxious about this matter - the fastest, most reliable answer will come from the doctor. Go get tested

even if you didnt have an open sore and you thought she could have had hiv ..I would still go and get checked..Thats just not something you want to have and not know..Because then theres that chance of you spreading it to other innocent people...

Be safe and go get tested asap

Hello, it just so happens I found an official leaflet on hiv/aids the other day, published by the the hiv support centre and was leafing through it. It says you .C.A.N'.T contract hiv from:

kissing

falling on somone's blood who is hiv positive

sharing a toothbrush/towel/cutlery with someone who is hiv positive

this in mind, I would think you are safe! If your mind is still not put at ease you should get tested, just to help you relax! It is never a bad idea to get tested anyway. All the best x
