From my understanding.  "the level or ammount of the HIV virus in saliva
is so minimal that if there are no cuts etc. in the mouth French Kissing
is safe.  But the question is, "ARE YOU WILLING TO BET YOUR LIFE ON IT?"

I buried my lover of 4 years in february and I insist on safe sex.  ie
the 4 Ms Movies, Mutual Masturbation, and Massage.  The Safe Way To Go.
