HIV risk from oral and deep kissing with blood

Hi,

Could somebody assess my risks for the following activities from a recent sexual contact with a Trans person.

1. Deep kissing - after tasting blood (unlikely mine) ?

2. Unprotected oral shortly afterwards (me receiving oral) I don't know for certain if there was still any blood but lets' assume there was.?

I understand the other std risks from the oral, but what about any slight HIV risk?

Oral sex, even with blood present, is not a risk for HIV. Human saliva contains bacteria and enzymes that render the virus inactive. (Unable to infect)

Oral sex can be a risk for other STD's (NOT HIV) and I would recommend you have an STD panel done.
