default
Posted on Tue, 12 Jul 2016
Question: Hello,
I wanted to ask a question about hiv and I want to dr XXXXXXX kanodia to answer me.
Can hiv transmit through deep open mouth kissing if someone have a sore throat with infected hiv person?
And what if the person have cut every one have cut in their mouth and I don't know if there is blood in the other partners mouth could be transmit
Can hard sucking breast that had minor cuts transmit hiv?

I'm just asking that for my info
I know dr you told the mouth is not a mode of hiv transmission but I got worried

Can regular allergy form dry lips can transmit hiv

Even though I did not see a blood inclouded

I read a lot of web sites their saying you should have a very deep sores and wounds in your mouth with slot of blood
But I only had a sore throat should I be worried

Brief Answer:
Hiv is not spread through deep kiss or breast sucking

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX,

Welcome back and thanks for posting your query to the forum.

I have diligently analyzed your query and noted your concern.

Let me reassure you again that in my clinical and academic experience it is not possible to get HIV through simple or deep kissing. It is because of the fact that our saliva contains certain enzymes which makes hiv virus inactive. Even with deep kissing it is not possible to get same. Minor cuts over lips never makes any difference and so is for breast sucking.

Just allay all your fears and relax.

My best wishes for your healthy life.

With regards,

Dr Sanjay Kanodia

Even with sore throat it's not possible to get hiv

Then why in Google they are saying there is possibility or just ignore the Google i searched a lot and they are saying if there is bleeding gums it would theratocally transmit and other site saying the blood get mixed with slaiva and kills is before get into other person and I I know there are no records only one and is not accurate.

De what am saying is the breast sucking so hard lead so have a scratch with burning feeling in the nipples I did not see drops of blood on it and an talk about kissing with someone might have a bleeding gums can the slaiva still transmit or an I gonna be affected I'm so scared I read a lot in Google they are saying if someone have a serious bleeding gums which can be see on his teeth it would transmit I'm just want to shake the idea of hiv over my head
So blood mixed with slaiva won't transmit hiv right

Dr I heard from him specialest that there is only two ways for sexual active people to get hiv is either having vaginal or anal sex or blood transfer
And he also XXXXXXX that even if you have a wound and put infected blood in it you won't get hiv and hiv needs to have a lot of blood to get nfected

Brief Answer:
Oral sex is insignificant means of HIV infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,

Welcome back and thanks for posting your further queries.

Sores could transmit hiv only if these are bleeding in both the persons actively with mixing of blood and if one of the person is hiv positive. This condition is practically not exactly possible.

For rear of all the conditions I have not seen clinically that hic could be transmitted by oral sex or sucking the breast in either persons.

I suggest you to stop searching Internet for all this matter. As Internet is full of various truces of information which are both scientific as well as false. So the false information could induce mote anxiety.

Just keep yourself calm and stay healthy.

All the best.

With regards,

Dr Sanjay Kanodia

Brief Answer:
Neck stiffness is never related to HIV.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,

Welcome back and thanks for posting your further concern.

White dots on tonsillar area are never an indication of HIV infection. The same is true for the part of dingle or double lymph node enlargement. Though in your case it appears to be too small to designate it as a lymph node enlargement.

Neck stiffness and or any pain in neck is never related to HIV infection.

So allay all your fears. Stay healthy and fit.

Brief Answer:
You can go for hair coloring.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX,

Welcome back and thanks for your further queries.

The neck stiffness is never commonly due to any lymph node enlargement. In my opinion it could be due to exercise or aggravated by exercise.

So allay all your fears for the same. You can very well go for the hair coloring. There is no effect of hair coloring on neck stiffness.

I hope this helps.

Brief Answer:
There is no correlation of HIV with your kind of symptoms.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX,

Welcome back and thanks for your further queries.

The part of blood mixed with mucus could only be due to the upper respiratory tract infection and tonsillitis only. There is no correlation of HIV with your kind of symptoms. So you should not be worried about the part of this kind of symptoms and correlation with HIV.

So allay all your fears for the same.

I hope this helps.

Brief Answer:
There is no correlation of HIV with kissing.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX,

Welcome back and thanks for your further follow up.

In my opinion there is no correlation of HIV with your symptoms. As your all the problems got cured by the antibiotics so HIV wasn't the cause for the same. Though simple Flu like infection could be caught with kissing but never hiv infection.

So just relax for the part of HIV and allay all your fears.

I hope you must be relaxed to know all the facts.

With regards,

Dr Sanjay Kanodia
