No, HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) and hepatitis C are not transmitted through saliva. While HIV can be present in saliva, the concentration is too low to result in transmission. Hepatitis C is primarily spread through blood-to-blood contact. Therefore, neither virus can be contracted through casual contact involving saliva.
