Hello -
No, you are not going to get AIDS from this.
Saliva is not going to spread the HIV virus.
Blood would spread the virus.
From https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/basics/transmission.html
"Deep, open-mouth kissing if both partners have sores or bleeding gums and blood from the HIV-positive partner gets into the bloodstream of the HIV-negative partner. HIV is not spread through saliva."
You can't get it from normal kissing. If you are bleeding in the mouth -- that could spread the virus.

Hello this is Dr. G, I'm a licensed physician.
Kissing on the cheek is okay.
I also wanted to confirm that saliva does not contain the HIV virus.
