HIV Exposure Risk?
auiopm
Hi,
I was kissing a woman aggressively and I bit her tongue. She started bleeding, I could taste it in my mouth. Is it possible to transmit the virus this way and does it warrant a test?
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your input. Does the presence of fresh blood impact the possibility of transmission at all? Thanks again

Not an HIV concern. It does not transmit via oral route
