[Question #11549] Kissing hiv risk

13 months ago

1. I have 3- 4 kissing with girls.All are model escort. Like 500 USD and 1 was like more expensive because she is well known model. But except kissing I have not done anything. I have never seen any blood from any girl mouth. Last time I was having small cut in my mouth with my teeth before 1 day of kissing. But I was not bleeding at the time of kissing. I also check her mouth she was even was not bleeding.

So is there any risk in this scenarios.

Welcome back, but I'm surprised you found it necessary. In preparing to answer this question, I reviewed your previous one 9 months ago. The question was the same and guess what? The answer hasn't changed either!

My replies from that discussion included these comments:

Kissing is never a risk for HIV, either mouth to mouth or mouth to any other body area, such as breasts or nipples. Even oral sex (mouth-genital) carries little or no risk. Whether or not your tongue touches a partner's tongue when kissing makes no difference either.

and this...

I have to wonder whether you have had biased education about HIV and STDs. In some countries, and some places in all countries, official education is driven more by politics and religion than by science, and sometimes suggests that HIV and STIs are much more easily transmitted than they really are. However, accurate information is available online -- not just in forums like this, but at various academic, public health, and NGO websites. I suggest you spend some time searching online for the truth about HIV/STI risks -- but limit your searching to professional or professionally mediated sources.

And having a "small cut in [your] mouth" makes no difference. You do not need testing for anything and if you have a regular sex partner, you can safely continue your normal sexual practices without putting her at risk.

I hope these comments are helpful. Let me know if anything isn't clear.

Thank you Doctor.

I have one question. Incase someone both partner do the hiv testing on same day and both are negative. After this they do condom protected sex. After sex condom was intact. Check and found not teared.

Is there any risk or can you estimate if any risk.

If the testing was done too soon -- if one of these people has HIV, but it's too soon for the test to be positive -- then the other person might be infected. Probably not, because kissing doesn't transmit HIV and condoms are effective.---

In second exposure there was no kissing.

It was just vaginal sex with condom. Before doing sex. Negative test report were there.

On the top of all condom was intact.

Obviously this was zero risk for HIV for all practical purposes.

That completes the two follow-up comments and replies included with each question and so ends this thread. I hope the discussion has been helpful. Please note that the forum does not permit repeated questions on the same topic or exposure. This being your second about kissing and HIV risk, it will have to be your last one; future questions on this topic may receive no reply and the posting fee will not be refunded. This policy is based on compassion, not criticism, and is intended to reduce temptations to keep paying for questions with obvious answers. In addition, experience shows that continued answers tend to prolong users' anxieties rather than reducing them. Finally, such questions have little educational value for other users, one of the forum's main purposes. Thanks for your understanding.

Best wishes and stay safe.
