HIV from kissing?

Three weeks ago I kissed a guy at the bar and I remember I may have had a canker sore 5 days before that. I also have mildly inflamed gums. Now I am experiencing some joint pain but this might be the cold weather or my shoes. I know this is a symptom of HIV but I don't have the others (fever, rash, fatigue).

Should I be worried?? I didn't taste any blood..

you don't get HIV from kissing, period, end of story.

no

No.

no , only sex or blood injection

its very hard to contrac tthat way. also I doubt you would be experiencing HIV symptoms just 3 weeks after you kissed

it usually takes YEARS to become obvious

take a test just in case. I really dont think you have anything to worry about.

you dont have HIV, thats not how it spreads

All the HIV awareness classes I have been forced to take and teach, you cannot get HIV from saliva.

Can't get HIV from kissing unless you ingest about a gallon of the person's saliva and even then very doubtful. See a doctor anyways better safe than sorry.

no

if your really that worried, go get tested...better to know then not know...plus it will get it off your mind

well you obviously are a little bit worried otherwise you wouldnt ahve asked, i advise you to go to your doctor and have a blood test. its simple easy and will stop your worrying.

if you tate blood goodbye

what are you doing being so drunk that you are kissing strangers is my question???

please dont go kissing random people anymore. HIV is transferred through blood and "doing it" not kissng.
im pretty sure of that

Do you kiss his lips or something else?

haha unless he was bleeding all over your.....cut up gums i really think you have nothing to worry about.

Nah don't be worried. Get a test if you are. But you shouldn't be worried.

It might not be HIV, it could be any STD in the mouth.
One, go to a doctor, or a dentist.
Two, check up with that guy you were swapping spit with.
and Three, do you even brush good or at all?

Get tested sheesh!

you can get HIV if there is an open cut in your mouth. YOu probably shouldnt wore though

The only two ways of catching it, is by intercourse or by blood. If the guy had a cut on his lip and you got it in you somehow then, it would be passed. For right now stay calm. If symptoms persist visit your GP.

Hah why would you jump to the conclusion of HIV??

Call Planned Parenthood. I don't think HIV symptoms come up that fast. But I could be wrong. You are probably just paranoid. Planned parenthood will be able to tell you what to do and if you should be tested.

calm down! you can't get serious STD's from kissing. you can get mild ones, and you can get them from blow jobs, but you can't get HIV. However, just to be safe I would go to the doctor and see if you do have some sort of infection or something from kissing him. Well, good luck! :)

Probably not, you may want to ask your doctor though.

If I remember correctly, you can TECHNICALLY get it from saliva, but you'd need to practically swallow buckets. If you're worried, you should talk to a doctor. Or look this up on a medical site. You'll get a way better answer than what's here. :)

MOST HIV POSITIVE PEOPLE DON'T HAVE SYMTOMS FOR QUITE SOME TIME. JUST ASK YOUR DOC IF HE THINKS YOU NEED A TEST. NO BIG DEAL. GET THE TEST, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE KISSING STRANGE GUYS IN BARS!

you can't get HIV from kissing but i think you should see a doctor about this,you never know.and fast before it's too late!IF there IS a problem in the first place.good luck

No HIV you get through having intimacy with that person or if you had a cut then proly yeah you do I suggest you go get tested right away just in case or just to be sure!

no dont be worried i dont think you can get HIV from a kiss but you should see a doctor maybe you have the flu
