"In laboratory studies, various factors involving saliva have been found to have either a direct effect, or an indirect effect, against the HIV virus in vitro (in a test tube). Some of these factors include secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI), thrombospondin (TSP), mucins, virus-specific antibodies, hypotonic disruption of HIV infected cells inside saliva, and other factors.
What does all this mean in real life situations? These factors may explain why the concentrations of HIV in saliva are so low. Since the concentrations of HIV in saliva are so low, activities involving saliva (such as kissing and receiving oral sex) are extremely low risk for HIV (as long as the saliva is not visibly contaminated with blood).
