Can HIV/AIDS be transferred through kissing on the lips

Can HIV/AIDS be transferred through kissing on the lips?
Me and my brother got into an argument over some stupid video of people making a kissing chain in some city and he says "They could get AIDs if anyone was infected." and Im saying No it can't be transferred by kissing on the lips cause I know for a fact it can only be transferred by vaginal fluids, semen, or blood. I know it's gross sorry but can it be transferred through saliva?

No! but if there is an open cut in the mouth or on lips then YES!
2 :
only if one or both of the kissers had an open sore in there mouth or lips, if one had it and blood was leaked from the open sore into the recipients stomach it could be absorbed through the blood, or if both had an open sore it could jump from sore to sore, but this is very very rare, but it can happen
3 :
if you both have bleeding gums YES
4 :
sorry you cant get it from kissing
5 :
No, there is no risk at all from kissing. Saliva is not an infectious agent. It actually has over a dozen proteins and enzymes that inhibit the HIV virus. That is also why experts are now saying that RECEIVING oral sex is a zero risk activity. So if you can't get it from receiving oral sex, then you're certainly not going to it from kissing.
6 :
you would have to pass around over a pint full of saliva to the other person for them to get the virus
7 :
No, the virus can only be transferred through Sexual contact contaminated needles and mom to baby the overall list is Blood semen vaginal fluids breast milk and spinal fluid things that CANNOT transfer it are saliva tears urine body oil sweat vomit if you were to get it through saliva there would have to be blood in it
8 :
No only if you both have a cut in your mouth
