I'm writing a paper for Health, and I was wondering, why can't you get HIV/AIDS from kissing? I would think that all bodily fluids would be infected, but not saliva? Is there not enough of the virus in saliva to infect someone, or does the digestive acid kill it, or what?

There is not enough HIV in saliva for it to be transmitted that way. IDK why the amount of the virus is so low in saliva, though.

HIV is found in some white blood cells, when it's in saliva it's diluted and there is acid in your saliva. So if you got saliva from kissing someone in your mouth you will do one of two things, spit ot out, or swallow if you swallow and there happened to be HIV in it, the acid in your stomach would kill the HIV. Body fluid that are carriers of HIV are blood, semen, vaginal fluid and breast milk, these fluid can be excreted from the body. There is HIV in spinal fluid, but that is contained with in the body of the HIV+ person. All other body fluid either have no HIV or have so little that it will not infect a person.
