Kissing and HIV - bleeding in gums

Kissing and HIV - bleeding in gums

I had sex (with condoms) but indulged in oral sex with 2 different escorts. The reason why I was worried is that some materials on the net say that there is a chance of getting HIV from kissing if both the participants have some bleeding in the mouth (due to cold (dry lips) or bleeding gum or tooth).
I intermittently have some bleeding due to dry lips in cold weather and during this August & September had some bleeding due to some teeth growth. This added the cause to my worry. However I decided to face the consequences and did take one more HIV test and the result came negative and I am relieved.

It would be great if any of you in this forum can post your observations on the "oral-sex" or "kissing" fear . A lot of people had posted similar questions and I request somebody to reiterate if they had done earlier. Also post observations on the variations in the timeline for developing antibodies; do people with low resistance develop antibodies later ? If so they should be seeing all the ARS symptoms right?

Oral sex is not a risk for HIV and neither is kissing.

Nothing that you have told us has out you at risk for HIV.


The avergage time to detectable antibodies is 22 days and the vast majority of people will test positive by 6 weeks.  3 months is however, still conclusive.  

This is totally irrelevant to you though as you did not have a risk and do not require testing.
