		Transmit HIV/AIDS from kissing? Jun 17, 2001 Is it possible to be infected with the HIV/AIDS from kissing with someone with an 1. ulcer? 2. cut? in the mouth. Thank You


		Response from Dr. Feinberg If you are exposed to someone else's blood (from a cut or an ulcer) that is infected with HIV, it is possible to get infected with HIV. Possible does snot mean probable, though.
