Blood is the main way its transmitted, then sex. Kissing is very low risk unless you may have a ulcer in your mouth or somthing like that where theres blood in the mouth.
However medications exsist where including use of a condom transmission is very low change of happening.

He does need to get tested though.

[pjones]

he definitely should be tested just to be sure

[BlackParadePixie]

transmission is possible through foreplay as well, if there is any contact with the genitals with an open cut or sore.

I would tell ur friend to get checked and then if
she is really HIV I would not have any sexual
relations with her even with a condom. Kissing
as was said above should not b done if u have a
open sore in ur mouth or lips-If they love one
another there r other ways to show affection as
in cuddling.

What he does with the relationship is down to him and the strength of the love he feels for her. I would hazard he is too young to probably know about that currently.

As for can he have been infected with HIV? Yes. He needs to be tested and urgently.

HIV can be transmitted as others have said through any contact with bodily fluids, primarily blood. Any small cut or ulcer, gum bleeding, residue, all could have easily been passed in kissing or foreplay.

I wish them both well...

It's possible. He should be tested

If by foreplay you mean oral sex, according to the page on the UK NHS website about HIV causes (http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/HIV/Pages/Causes.aspx) the risk from oral sex is less that that for vaginal or anal sex.

It is still worth getting tested, though, just to be sure. Also, bear in mind that it takes time for the virus to "bed in" before a test will pick it up so a test can come back as a false negative if it is too soon after the possible exposure so recommend your friend checks out who does tests in his area. They may ask to do two, spaced apart, just to be sure. Until he is sure he is clear he should avoid sex with anyone else to be sure not to pass it on.

Chances are if she's undetected, then HIV cells are not enough to be transmitted to his body. If it is detected, and has high levels, then I would tell him to be safe and use condoms. Saliva can not transfer HIV, but as posted above, it can be transferred through cuts or bleeding gums...etc. Make sure to get tested regularly, three to six months.

Very likely, get checked asap
