| Re: Saliva seroconversion
First of all the likelihood of transmitting HIV through saliva, ie: deep kissing, etc. is so small that data does not indicate it to be even considered a risk. Being bitten, however, runs a greater risk to the person doing the biting than to the person being bitten because the person who is doing the biting is going to ingest more blood (if the person being bitten is HIV+, of course) that the person being bitten is going to through saliva. This, assuming, that the skin is broken. Saliva, again poses little risk.
Now, the second part of the question relates to whether one will contract the virus slower through the means you mentioned than other means. I think the answer is, "no". Being HIV+ is being postively HIV whether is was through anal or vaginal intercourse, sharing IV drug paraphanalia, etc. THerefore, there is no condition where a person is less positive for the virus that someone else. (However, there may be indicators which means that the virus has mutated faster or that the patient is more ill but only because of the progression of the disease.) I've been redundant, but do you understand? chris
