An Indian doctor is claiming that deep kissing is capable of spreading the HIV virus.Dr. Manohar Bhandari is alleging that the Indian government was not focusing enough on other sources of HIV infection, which include deep kissing as 'highlighted by some researchers', This despite evidence by the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta that there is little to no chance of contracting the virus via kissing, unless bleeding and open wounds were present. Even then, the risk has been blown out of proportion by Dr. Bhandari.
It's sad that in this electronic age there is still such a level of ignorance about HIV, especially among Doctors and radio personalities.
