HIV is still incurable, and i believe there are still many facets of this disease that we do not know of. so,whatever the situation just be extra careful.

"Casual contact through closed-mouth or "social" kissing is not a risk for transmission of HIV. Because of the potential for contact with blood during "French" or open-mouth kissing, CDC recommends against engaging in this activity with a person known to be infected. However, the risk of acquiring HIV during open-mouth kissing is believed to be very low. CDC has investigated only one case of HIV infection that may be attributed to contact with blood during open-mouth kissing."

Hiv can be passed by infected blood too so if they have cuts or sores inside of their mouths and you have an open cut or sore in yours then there is a chance you can contract it. If you have to kiss them then stay to a closed mouth kiss, or show affection in a different way, such as a hug. X
