Can the HIV virus be transfered through kissing if a wound is open?
The HIV virus is transferred either by blood or by semen. Depending on the way that you are kissing the person will depend on the virus being transferred. There are some people that claim that saliva can cause the HIV virus to be obtained. However, this statement has been put under an immense amount of research and there has to be a large quanity of saliva present in order for the virus to be transferred.
If the wound that you have is open either inside of your mouth or on the outside of your mouth, and the person that has HIV does not have an open wound you should be ok. The HIV virus is a virus to be scared of, however as long as there is no blood and semen being transferred back and forth kissing should not pose a threat.
