I would like someone's expertise on this matter.....

A friend and I had a "disagreement" over whether there is such a
thing as safe sex with someone who is HIV+.  He said that any sex
with an HIV+ individual is inherently unsafe.  I disagreed with him.
I countered that you would take extra steps if a person was
positive and that he would never know that actual HIV status of a
person he slept with.

We did agree on the dangerously unsafe practices and there was one
area where we didn't agree:  Assuming no cuts and sores in the
mouth, is french kissing safe or unsafe?

Survey sez?

Thanks for letting me - and maybe a lot of people - know.
