Q: French Kissing Can Give You Hiv

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.
