i went and got my teeth cleaned today and they been bleeding a little. i french kissed a girl a few hours ago and i noticed after we got done my gums was bleeding in a few places. she told me she has hiv positive and had it for 8 years. should i be worried about getting hiv? i was bleeding at the time we french kissed.should i get tested? im very scared

Welcome to the Forum.  This is a common question which has been answered many times.  HIV is not transmitted by kissing - period with no exceptions.  That your gums were bleeding from recent dental work does not change this.   There is no need for concern and no need for testing.

I hope my comment is helpful  EWH

Correct.  As I said, HIV has never been shown to be transmitted by kissing.  EWH

thanks for helping me . so it would be safe to keep kissing her i will never get it? nothing else going to heppen just kissing her.

I understood that she had HIV from your initial post and considered this in my assessment.  STDs, including HIV, are not transmitted by kissing.  EWH
