its not possible to contract it that way,there are antibodies in saliva that won't allow it to survive there. there is a lot of misinformation out there and that is one of things often said that is wrong.

Agreed.

Doubly agreed, If HIV was transmitted this way the entire planet would be now infected. Please, this is simply disinformation and scare mongering, plus it is completely irrational.

Take care Kevin.
