Kiss of Death

Dear Sirs,

I am very sad to describe to you what maybe my death sentence:

1. I had a 24 hour nail scratch on my forehead which a CSW kissed for one second. (Assuming her blood tainted saliva seeped into it, and she was HIV +ve, I am dead)

2. I had a 2 hour nail scratch (two small red dots on the region that joins the hand and elbow). She gave me a kiss for a second. (Assuming her blood taited saliva seeped into it, and she was HIV+ve, I am dead)

Finally, I would also request your answer to this whether this situation equals (or is similiar) to Oral Sex where mucous membrane of the penis is exposed to saliva (sometimes blood tainted).

I would be very grateful for your answer

Best wishes,
A distressed Soul

Wow, to start I would suggest seeing a therapist because you have gone way overboard with these morbid thoughts and would suspect maybe some depression has been controlling your life for sometime now.

1. No it is not a risk. Even if the nail scratch was within minutes, the scratch does not provide an area for infection.

2. Same as #1

Yes it equates because oral sex is not a risk just like the above situations.
