hey my friend is really worried. he kissed this girl and he had a pretty big cut on the inside of his mouth, around the upper lip. it wasnt a tonuge kiss, like they wernt making out. but still hes worried - could he have contracted HIV via the girl's saliva in his cut?

there's a chance persay, but not a big one.
the transmission of saliva isn't said to carry the virus
however, if she too had a cutt on the inside of her mouth, and blood got into his lip there's a chance. IF the girl had HIV.

for any diseases to occur there should be enough germs to fight and overcome persons immunity. If there was lots of germs transmitted by kissing that means lots of blood exchanged which means 1. girl should have HIV 2.her viral load is very high ie large number of viruses in one ml of blood
there is a possiblity which I believe is very remote
best thing to do is do a test and take this fear out of your mind
