Can a perosn with a canker sore contract HIV by kissing a HIV positive person?

Please help me I'm freaking out. I was kissing a HIV positive person last night. The problem is I have a canker sore. I done had it about a week or so. My question is can I still contract HIV by kissing this HIV positive person.

No otherwise all of America would have it. HIV is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva.

Thank you that was relief hearing that but I was deep kissing him in a way. So is there still a possible way of me contracting HIV through the canker sore that was present in my mouth?
The science is 40 years old and you have no medical training.
Kindly reread the advice until the full meaning is apparent instead of purposelessly rephrasing your question.
