Is HIV transmission possible trough saliva? I met a guy who is HIV positive. He is most wonderful person and he was honest from begging and we decided just to kiss on the mouth. Anyway I would like to know about this. Does anyone know?

I don’t know for sure but I read that it is believed that there is a substance in saliva that inhibits HIV. The inhibition observed may be due to large sugar-protein molecules in the saliva. They are called glycoprotein and they apparently cause HIV to form giant clumps which are not capable of causing infection. That is all I can tell you about this way of HIV transmission
