Detailed explanation-1: -This rare transmission can occur through contact between broken skin, wounds, or mucous membranes and blood or body fluids from a person who has HIV. There is no risk of transmission through unbroken skin. There are no documented cases of HIV being transmitted through spitting as HIV is not transmitted through saliva.
Detailed explanation-2: -HIV is passed on through blood, semen, vaginal fluid, anal mucus and breast milk, if the person with HIV has a detectable viral load.
Detailed explanation-3: -By mosquitoes, ticks, or other insects. Through saliva, tears, or sweat. By hugging, shaking hands, sharing toilets, sharing dishes, or closed-mouth or “social” kissing with someone who has HIV. Through other sexual activities that don’t involve the exchange of body fluids (for example, touching).
Detailed explanation-4: -No, you cannot catch HIV from kissing. Evidence shows that the HIV virus is spread through the exchange of bodily fluids such as blood, semen and vaginal fluids, but not saliva.
