Greening. Permission granted for Note: non-commercial reproduction. Archive-number: 2572 I am very confused - have a friend who has been HIV+ whom I shall be visiting again - we are close - does deep kissing with him pose a risk of contraction of HIV ? I have read conflicting opinions on oral contact - mouth to mouth - its implications in this context. Would appreciate comment, elucidation... -- Uucp: ...{gatech,ames,rutgers}!ncar!asuvax!stjhmc!JOSEPH.ANDREWS Internet: JOSEPH.ANDREWS@stjhmc.fidonet.org
