Question Posted Saturday February 24 2007, 4:26 pm
My fiance has had premarital sex, and i haven't. so i dont want to do anything sexual with him, until he has had tests and stuff. but we have kissed, and yesterday someone was telling me that it is possible to get aids from someone by just kissing them, is that true?
MW8305 answered Sunday February 25 2007, 11:16 am: Basicly... No. My friend volunteers for a company known as AID Atlanta. AIDS usually isn't transmitted through saliva. The only risk present is if your fiance has HIV and his mouth was bleeding when you kissed him. Even then, transmission is unlikely because of something in your saliva that kills the virus. Or at least, that was my understanding of what my friend told me.
For more information, try going to this site... www.aidatlanta.org Most of your questions are answered on their FAQ page. [ MW8305's advice column | Ask MW8305 A Question ]

The only STD that I know of that can be transmitted through kissing is mono, so unless you think he has that, I wouldn't worry [ junebug93's advice column | Ask junebug93 A Question ]

AIDS can also be transferred from a mother to offspring during gestation and also through a non-sterile needle that was used with someone who has AIDS.
