Will kissing an AIDS patient transmit AIDS?

AIDS is contagious to a certain extent, so many friends are unwilling to come into contact with AIDS patients in order to avoid being infected with AIDS themselves. However, there are also some friends who make friends with others without knowing that the other person has AIDS, and sometimes they may kiss each other. In this case, when they learn that the other person has AIDS, they will be very panicked. So, will kissing an AIDS patient transmit AIDS?

HIV can be detected in saliva, but the amount of virus is very small. The HIV virus must reach a certain amount to cause transmission. It is estimated that in order for the virus in saliva to reach an amount that may cause infection, more than 20 ml of saliva of an infected person must be swallowed at one time; in addition, American scientists have discovered that there is a protein in human saliva that can effectively inhibit the HIV virus from infecting human immune cells in a test tube, so normal kissing, dining together, coughing or sneezing will not infect the HIV virus. However, oral sex and passionate deep kissing accompanied by bleeding gums or ulcers in the infected person's mouth also pose the possibility of HIV entering the bloodstream through the oral mucosa and being transmitted.

1. It is not easy to determine the exact probability of HIV transmission through sexual behavior. The average results given by the study show that the risk of infection from a single exposure is not high, and the highest risk is anal sex (receiving party);

2. Infection is possible even with a single exposure, and the risk increases with multiple exposures. Other factors, including other sexually transmitted diseases, also increase the risk of transmission;

3. There is no way to guarantee that the risk of sexual transmission of AIDS will be reduced to zero, so if you do not know the friend who is about to have "intimate contact" with you, please treat him (her) as a potential infected person and take appropriate protective measures (such as using condoms correctly, clarifying the other person's infection status, etc.) to reduce the risk of transmission;

4. The transmission of AIDS requires a certain amount of virus to enter the human body. The amount of virus contained in saliva is extremely small and it is a safe body fluid. Daily contact will not spread AIDS.

I believe you should now be clear about the question of whether kissing an AIDS patient will transmit AIDS. Here I would also like to remind all my friends that AIDS is a disease that can directly take a person's life, and so far there is no way to treat AIDS. Therefore, people have a certain panic about AIDS, which is understandable. However, I also hope that all my friends will not discriminate against AIDS patients.
