Can you get HIV through a deep facial cut?

Four nights ago I cut myself really bad on my chin with a disposable razor. It was bleeding a lot and then finally stopped. The NEXT night I hooked up with a girl and she most likely kissed/licked my cut. I know the cut was still open because it bled a little bit everyday after and didnt start to scab up until last night.  What are my chances of getting HIV from this encounter? Please answer?

NONE.  ZERO risk.

Do a search of this forum using the word "razor", and you will find a whole bunch of posts explaining why...we've discussed this a bunch of times!
