Can HIV Be Contracted Through Kissing?
Question: Hi my cd4 is currently at 840 my viral load is undetectable and my partner uses a condom (advice on best condom for us is also sought) all the time. We kiss but ensure have no infections in my mouth. Is there a possibility of them getting infected?
Brief Answer:
Chances are very very very very low!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this HIV infection. Sorry is really not appropriate because your undetectable viral load and High number of CD4 means you are doing good. But for the fact that you know you have HIV, I believe your health should be as good as that of any other person without HIV.
The chances of transmitting this to your partner and very low. How low? very very low. I encourage you to stick to the same measures of protection and always take your drugs as recommended. For condoms, get them from the pharmacy as they are certified, we’ll stored and high chances of being of good quality. There is no need recommending a specific brand of condoms.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
