thank you for query.kiss does not transmit HIV unless there is abrasions or ulcers in the oral cavity.if protected intercourse then you need not worry about HIV.Cancer does not increase susceptibility of HIV.but as there is further suppression of immune system there is chances of HIV viral load to be more .so if there are abrasions then there is chances of transmission more.You can get back to me for any clarifications with the photos.Dr Bharatesh D Basti Dermatologist and Venereologist
