Catching Hiv From French Kissing Posted: 09-14-06 10:14am
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
