Back Again Kissing

My anxiety is getting the best of me over a new situation.  I bite me cheeks, bad habit that I have had since I was a kid.  I met a woman off of the internet and we had a 15 to 20 second french kiss.  Is there any chance in a million that I could get infected if she were to have hiv and blood in her mouth when we kissed or should I forget this?

I agree and this is my last question.  Is the science really that 100 percent when french kissing is the only risk?

Am I in the clear everyone?  I feel as though I am but I guess I need to see it after my latest post about the test.

I just wanted to update my situation so that it may benefit the readers or someone in a situation similar to mine.  I had a little dificulty shaking my needless anxiety so I went for a test 8 weeks after my incident.  I was tested via Clearview HIV 1/2 stat pak rapid blood test and it was non reactive of course.  I have been told that this test is conclusive for my situation and I am taking it as such.  Thank You

Of course people dont walk around with blood in their mouth, but people do have bleeding gums from time to time.  I was just wondering if the planets were alligned and when we kissed she had bleeding gums and I had my bitten cheeks if it would be possible to infect.  Thank You

No risk. Nothing you say can change the fact that kissing is no risk. Why do you think she would have blood in her mouth? People dont just walk around with blood in their mouths. Cmon, this is totally irrational. You need to stay off the.net and spent sometime with a therapist.

I was looking at my cheeks today in my anxiety ridden state and I noticed that I do bite them pretty deep.  Assuming my worst fears and she were to have blood in her mouth during the kiss and it got into my bitten cheeks, is there and chance in hell I could be infected?  Thank you for your time.

forget it ! ! !

"Kissing is no risk, even deep ("French") kissing and even with a person who sores on their mouth or has gum or dental disease."   DR HOOK

"Of course no risk. HIV is not transmitted by kissing, even with sores in the mouth.

Despite the billions of kissing events in the AIDS era, not one case of HIV has been known to be transmitted that way, even though millions of those kisses undoubtedly were with cuts in the mouth or on the lips."
