Yes, someone can be born with AIDS.
Yes, if you have a small cut in your mouth and you kiss someone who has AIDS, you have a higher chance of getting it. However, if you were to give that person oral sex, there would be no doubt that you would get it.

If the persons has the HIV Virus it is very possible for a person who has an open sore to become infected with it. Further, yes a child can be born with AIDS but this is only because the mother did not get prenatal care. Doctor's now have a drug that can be administered to HIV positive pregnant mother's to prevent their child from being born with the HIV Virus.

You can be born with HIV, not AIDS. And you can only get AIDS from someone if they have AIDS, which they would generally tell you if you tried to kiss them.

I believe transmitting AIDS (or HIV?) through kissing is only possible if BOTH kissers have cuts.
AIDS is not transmitted through saliva, it's transmitted through blood. So if an AIDS/HIV person with a wound kisses you, and their blood/traces of blood mixes into your wound, yes you are at risk.
Also, people aren't *technically* born with aids, but they can receive it during and after birth. Mothers with AIDS/HIV need to have C-sections to protect their babies. They should not breast feed, because it is transmitted through breast milk too.
It can also be dangerous to preform amniocenteses/other invasive tests during pregnancy.

No. Although it is possible to get HIV from kissing, it is incredibly unlikely.
For starters, people bleed out, not in. In order to get HIV the virus has to enter into the body. Cuts, particularly cuts in the mouth, cauterize quickly. In order to get infected the cut would have to be very fresh, and people don't usually kiss while they are bleeding.
Second, in order to get infected you would have to be kissing someone who was infected, and the infection would have to be transferred. In order to be transferred that person would have to be bleeding,. As I said before people don't usually kiss while they are bleeding. HIV only exists in certain blood cells, and not every drop of blood contains those cells, so even a little of transmission of blood will not cause a transmission of the infection.
Third, your mouth is a very harsh environment for the HIV virus, and even if the virus does get transmitted, it will be killed before it enters in your body.
Although, possible to get HIV by having a cut in your mouth, you would have to swish an infected persons blood around your mouth like it were Mouthwash, and than your chances are minuscule.
HIV can be transmitted through Oral sex, where a person is more likely to have contact with the virus, but even then chances are very rare.
What scares me is how High School text books make it seem like people with HIV sheed the virus every where they go. It is a very hard virus to catch. Even if you have unprotected sex with an HIV protected person, your chances of getting the virus are fairly low; about 5%. That is small chance, but not one I want to take.
Now for your second question, technically a person cannot be born with AIDS, because AIDS is Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. Syndrome means a group of conditions. You cannot be diagnosed with AIDS, until you've exhibited more than one condition associated with AIDS.
However, it is possible for a baby to be born with HIV. It is very common, if the mother has HIV. The baby would be protected from the virus while in the womb. Exposure comes through the birthing process. So a baby will not be exposed until it is born. However, we have medications that the mother can take during her third trimester of pregnancy which will help prevent transmission through birth to less than 2%.
Infection can also be transmitted through an infant through breast feeding.

Yes you can contract AIDS by having a cut in your mouth and kissing someone who has AIDS. No people aren't born with AIDS, they are born with HIV the virus that causes AIDS, also not all children whose mother is HIV+ will be born HIV+. It's likely the child will be HIV+ but its not 100% sure thing.

you will NOT contract aids from kissing someone with a cut in your mouth. HIV is not transmitted through saliva. if someone ejaculates in your mouth that's a different story. and to your second question-yes-an hiv positive mother can pass the virus on to her unborn fetus. an hiv test is very important in the early months of pregnancy because medication throughout pregnancy will reduce the chances of the baby being born with hiv.

You can get AIDS from exchanging bodily fluids with an infected person. So, if you have a cut in your mouth, and they are bleeding from their mouth, then yes, you can contract HIV. There is also some evidence that the virus is present in saliva and breast milk (previously, it was thought that the virus was not in these fluids.)
A person can be born with HIV if their mother has HIV. In that case, the mother would transmit because the mother and baby share bodily fluids.
These are really good questions. You are doing the right thing to try and learn more about this disease. There are also a lot of other sexually transmitted diseases that you should know about. I would read up in a health book to learn more.

A child can be born with HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) if the child's mother is HIV positive.
You can only contract the HIV virus through contact with blood and semen. If the person you're kissing isn't bleeding from the mouth, you're perfectly safe.

That'sINTENSE!

yes (if the cut bled)
aids is transfered by blood, semen, breast milk, and vaginal secretion (it would take a gallon of saliva to transmit aids)
A baby can be born w/ HIV
A baby can be born with HIV if its mother had was HIV/AIDS +(remember the breastmilk!)
