HIV and damaged mouth and gum
I had a protected sex experience 2 days ago with an unknown HIV status girl that i met in night club. I am leap in Asia. It involved deep kissing. I realized the day after that I had been operated for a teeth 1 week before. The operation was large as it involved the implant of a pivot (titanium bar) in my bone in order to get a new teeth later. After one week I still have blood when I brush my teeth and my gum are still bleeding. I was wondering if I am at HIV risk regarding 1/ I had a large operation (deep tissues) less than 10 days ago, 2/ that her saliva definitely was in contact with my damaged gums.
Thank you for your time. I appreciate. I am just worried and don't know how I will be able to pass the next 6 weeks or whatever it takes to get a firm answer.
i agree...but since this forum is not the relationship forum...let's just stick to hiv :)
no risk
no risk
Not convinced this is always a good idea to tell the partner, if risk then yes if absolutely no risk involved, then I just transfer my stress for a mistake which is mine
Yes,tell your wife or the guilt will consume you.Honestly is always the best policy.

I understand the risk low. I recognize that theirs still a possibility that gums of that girl were also bleeding, in that case, would it be risk? I need to take a decision whether to inform my wife etc...
"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."

You can start sleeping again because saliva contains many different proteins & enymes that are powerful enough to knock HIV for six & render it inactive & unable to infect you.
