HIV from kissing ?

ok some lady called me today asking if i
knew this guy named william or omar. i
said no because its none of her business.
plus i heard she was a prostitute so you
know i did not really care what she said.
but anyways omar is the same race as me
H0NDURAN. i think he is legal to be here
in the united states but anyways i kissed
this omar guy and i think i french kissed
him ALSO, i do not remember. but i was
wondering if you can get HIV from french
kissing or kissing. because other than
that i did not do anything else with him.
all i did was kiss him. he was wanting me
to go in his house to have sex with him
one time and i said no i am not like
that. then couple days later i talked to
my friend hannah and primo and they said
be careful because there was alot of
prostitutes that go to omar's house. and i
said ok. and after that day i never talk
to omar anymore and when he calls me i do
not even answer his calls.

You know, personally, I never thought you
could get HIV from kissing, BUT one of my
teachers back at my 2 year college told me
it was possible.
I remember her saying that if there were
open sores inside the mouth, then it could
be possible, although extremely rare.

Of course with open sours you could but I
think the chances are very very very
slim...
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) considers open-mouth
kissing low-risk for transmitting HIV,
especially if both partners are without
sores or cuts on the mouth or lips. Saliva
has certain proteins that make it an
extremely poor carrier of HIV. As a
result, kissing, sucking, and licking the
lips, mouth, and tongue are basically
safe.

Sweetie, I wouldn't be too worried about
this. Like homer said, it's really rare.
I've never heard of anyone contracting HIV
in this way (it doesn't mean it's not
possible). If you are really worried, your
best bet would be to get tested. It
wouldn't hurt anything to get tested
anyway. More people should do it!

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe when you
get tested, they request you to get a
retest in 6 months.
There aren't any home tests on the
market-although it's a good idea-not just
for HIV, but for all STDs.
Just go to the doctor. If you are
uncomfortable seeing your own doctor, you
can go to the local free clinic. They can
test you (for free) and no one will know
you there.

You're welcome! Really, I doubt you would
have contracted HIV from this experience.
It would probably be a good idea to be
tested for all STDs. Since he has been
rumored to mess with a lot of prostitutes,
it wouldn't be far-fetched that this
person could have other STDs. Herpes is
extremely contagious-especially through
kissing. Just be careful! Good luck!

There are diseases that are transmitted
orally as well. Major one is herpes. It
comes in various forms, most likely they
show as cold sores.
