Doesn't that imply you can contract the virus through saliva? WTF!?
"HIV is found in saliva, but in quantities too small to infect someone. If you drink a bucket of saliva from a positive person, you won't become infected. There has been only one recorded case of HIV transmission via kissing, out of all the many millions of recorded cases. In this case, both partners had extremely badly bleeding gums."
also:
"Some people have been spreading rumours that the virus is so small that it can pass through 'holes' in latex used to make condoms. This is untrue. Latex blocks HIV, as well as sperm - preventing pregnancy, too."
