Question:
Is it possible to get HIV/AIDs through saliva? Why or why not?

One of my teachers told us that you would have to drink litres of saliva to catch HIV in saliva... I really don't know if this is true...

I am pretty sure that a small amount of saliva would do you no harm


Bacteria and viruses that cause diseases must enter your body in a specific way to make you sick... (one may cause a problem if breathed in, but no problem if rubbed on skin)

HIV can only infect you by blood contact or by sex. Swallowing saliva would have no effect (however I would be causious if I have gum bleeding or bleeding in stomach)

Hey your teacher is not wrong it is really true even I read it somewhere.

How Do You Get HIV or AIDS? (http://www.aids.gov/hiv-aids-basics/hiv-aids-101/how-you-get-hiv-aids/)

No saliva does not transmit it.


"deep kissing" if one person has sores in mouth, may cause it.
