We get many questions about kissing and oral exposure and whether or not the presence of a cold sore, bites to the lip, gum disease or other wounds in or around the mouth changes the answer to the question.  The answer is no.  The data which define the absence of any risk of getting HIV through kissing, deep or otherwise has be generated through studies of thousand and thousands of persons, some of whom had cold cores, cuts, etc.  There is no risk.  this is the case even if she was HIV infected

Previously, doctors thought that kissing, fingering, cuts and so on are the risks for HIV. But after 30 years, the statistics say that these are not methods of transmission of HIV. Simple as that.

I would like to believe that there is no risk at all for deep kissing with little cuts or wounds on the lips or inside the mouth.

But, CDC (Which is one of the most reputed organizations) literally states that there is a risk. Reference: Q15 on: (http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/resources/qa/transmission.htm).
