Trust me the internet has a lot of things that you can find if you search long enough. HIV can only be transmitted via unprotected vaginal/anal sex, IV drug use, or from mother to baby during pregnancy. What you have described is not a risk for HIV. HIV CANNOT LIVE OUTSIDE THE CONFINES OF TWO BODIES.
After this incidence read lot on websites some websites says if you have an cuts or sores in mouth it can be risk of infection and I had 2/3 cuts in mouth.
Sorry for asking same thing again and again!

I am not, but like you I had a situation that scared me. I am here to help you the way that I was helped from this site, which is to ease any anxiety you might have. The situation you posed is no risk for HIV. You can relax, get on with your life, and not worry about HIV.
