| Response from Ms. Gabriel
 My answer professionally, statically, and epidemiologically is that in the past 23 years there has only been ONE case of HIV transmission that *may* have been attributed to kissing. Important to note that blood was the infected fluid -- not saliva. It is a good idea to refrain from kissing anyone who is bleeding from the mouth. Did the 6-8% say *what* they were kissing? That may account for the knowledge gap. Lynne Gabriel | |||||||||
