Can HIV be transmitted through Kissing

Can HIV be transmitted through Kissing?
There is no risk of HIV infection if it is a kiss on the cheek. In the case of a kiss involving saliva exchange, it is unlikely that HIV will be transmitted. Saliva contains very little quantity of the virus and it is believed that a large volume of saliva would be needed to infect someone. But the presence of sores (which are obtained through injuries) in the mouth is likely to increase the risk of transmission during kissing.
