We get many questions about kissing and oral exposure and whether or not the presence of a cold sore, bites to the lip, gum disease or other wounds in or around the mouth changes the answer to the question. The answer is no. The data which define the absence of any risk of getting HIV through kissing, deep or otherwise has be generated through studies of thousand and thousands of persons, some of whom had cold cores, cuts, etc. There is no risk. this is the case even if she was HIV infected or had had oral sex with someone who had HIV immediately prior to your encounter with her
incidentally, my guess is that after a vigorous kissing session the blood you saw in the morning was yours, nor hers and reflected the vigor with which the two of you kissed.
Hope this helps. Take care. EWH
Nope. Kissing is no risk, even deep kissing, with a bleeding mouth, an open oral sore, or gum or dental disease. The quoted figure for HIV risk, if one has oral sex
Buccal smear
Causes of sexual dysfunction
Child abuse - sexual
Delayed ejaculation
Erection problems
Female sexual dysfunction
Inhibited sexual desire
Orgasmic dysfunction
Puberty and adolescence
Safe sex
Sexual intercourse - painful
with an infected partner is less than 1 in 10,000 and, in my estimation that is too high. The mouth and GI tract is a hostile place for HIV, containing many antibodies, enzymes and other things which inhibit HIV. Neither of us on this site have ever seen or reading the medical literature of a convincing instance in which HIV was passed by oral sex
