It doesn't. We can't help you with the incorrect information you find surfing the web.
So little small amounts of blood on the gums would not pose a risk for hiv transmission? Why does it say in some places that microscopic tears are enough in the mouth for transmission?
Would the risk be increased if after we kissed I went home and rushed my teeth and could have had bleeding gums at time of brushing again? I brushed about 15 - 20 min after the brief kiss where her tongue came Into my mouth for a split second. I don't remember if I did bleed when I brushed that night. But I bleed almost every time I brush so I probably did. Also after the kiss I took a little water and swirled it around in my mouth and spat it out. I did this about 2 min after the kiss. I am worried that the little spot on my gums that always shows signs of blood when I press down with a tissue paper would pose a risk for contracting hiv.
As you were correctly advised by Lizzie, you never had an exposure.
HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child
Thanks Worryaa18 for the post!
Even i am worried about this fingering thing which i did with a prostitute recently i had protected sex with. Though i dont remember whether any of my thumb/finger were broken/bleeding at that time but surely remember that skin on the side of my thumb's nail was broken and bleeding somewhere nearby(may be later) this event which i had on 24/2/13.
Docs we need your help. Please tell us if this kinda activity impose some risk for the HIV infection and what are the chances of getting HIV through contact of broken skin with vaginal fluids?

paranoid or not...the FACT of the matter is, you never had a risk.
