How risky is kissing?

I’m a 17 year old slowly falling for someone who has just told me that they are HIV+. Both the decision to stop the relationship from happening and to keep going seem to be wrong. (Either I put myself at risk, or potentially wreck his emotional state.) I don’t even know who to listen to about the risks though. Some say if I kiss him, I’ll get HIV and some say I won’t unless I have open cuts in my mouth. Just how risky is all of this?

Civil Disagreement

Jesus hung out with sinners whose behavior he clearly did not approve of. But he reserved his strongest disapproval for those other sinners who would condemn them. He did not say, ‘Hate the sin but love the sinner,’ but he did say this: ‘Let him who is without sin cast the first stone’.
