No, it is not possible to contract HIV through mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. HIV is primarily transmitted through direct blood-to-blood contact, sexual fluids, or from mother to child during childbirth or breastfeeding. The saliva of an HIV-positive person contains very low levels of the virus, and the risk of transmission through saliva is negligible. Therefore, performing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on a drowning victim does not pose a risk for HIV transmission.
