Question
Is HIV transmitted thru Deep Kissing( I was involved in deep kissing that is tongue to tongue kissing with diff gals).... and recently one Gal has sucked my cock without condom.. but I did not release the sperm... so are there chances of transmission of HIV+

Answer
Hi, Prashanth,

Thanks for your question.

Whilst the HIV is found in saliva of infected individuals, it is in very low numbers - HIV is not thought to be able to penetrate intact skin and normally requires blood contact for effective transmission.

The chances of transmitting HIV by "deep kissing" or genital contact with saliva are, thus, very slim.

Hope this helps.
