French Kissing Can Give You Hiv Posted: 09-14-06 10:30am
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.

Normally the mouth and digestive tract is
a pretty hostile environment for foreign
organisms including hiv, but yes, there is
a chance of infection if the virus can
bypass the digestive processes and enter
directly into the bloodstream from an open
sore, etc.
Always a good idea to get checked, if you
have experienced any sexual contact that
could lead to infection.

The amount of saliva needed to transfer
hiv is rather large....Up to a gallon. I
wouldn't be too concerend over this
matter. And hiv probably won't show up
this soon..It takes awhile, atleast a few
months. I had the same issue as
you....Kissing someone who wasn't very
upstanding looking. So I just went
through all this.....Don't worry.
