Make out with a promiscuous girl

[TokiTokito691]

Hello and thank you for reading my question

I made out with a girl in my car yesterday. she is know to be a bit promiscuous, sleeping around.

Due to being horny but afraid of her sexual nature, i only opted for a make out session.

We only made out, abit of deep kissing, tongue sucking.

I have a history of gum issue (will bleed when burshing and have some uncelrs due to accidentally biting myself)

Im worried during the kiss, if there was blood in her saliva (im not sure i didnt check).

The make out was around 1 day ago

Will PEP be required? im still within the window period to take pep if required

can some one give me an assessement?

"I know that my risks are none..."
I'm glad you understand that, which means this forum and our members have served their purpose. This is not an anxiety support forum. If you had had a risk for HIV, our members would have advised you.

Hi I know that my risks are none according to your replies

I've also read a medical journal that mentions that saliva does inhibit the virus

However I have been falling sick after the kiss.

I also forgot to mention that I had a sore throat while I was kissing her

Could my sore throat be a contributing factor?

Apologies for the anxiety filled post

This is not a risk for HIV. HIV is only transmitted by unprotected vaginal or anal sex or sharing IV needles to inject drugs. Air and saliva inactivate the virus and your oral hygiene will not affect risk (nor would hers). You don't need pep. You don't need to test. You had no risk for hiv

Even with potential blood in her saliva?

[GuitarRox]

Even with blood, it is not a risk. At all. Air and saliva inactivate the virus. People do not get hiv from kissing.

[TokiTokito691]

Not trying to be a paranoid bug. But how about if she has a high viral load? Will saliva still inactivate the virus?

As I mentioned she kinda sleeps around...

Your post is very similar to one we had yesterday. But no. A non risk doesn't become a risk under any circumstances. Not if there is high viral load or because you are anxious. This is the last post to you as it's getting redundant. NO risk from kissing. Ever. Saliva, blood, viral load, anxiety. None of it makes kissing a risk.

Your situation involves personal contact with an object in air  (maybe blood, maybe cuts, mouth touching lips,  etc. ) . You will be happy to learn that you had no risk, because you can't get hiv from personal contact except unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal with a penis, neither of which you did and you didn't share hollow needles to inject with which is the only other way to acquire hiv - there are ONLY 3 ways to get hiv. Note that 2 of them require a penis and the third requires a hollow injecting shared needle - there are no OTHER ways to get hiv. Analysis of large numbers of infected people over the 40 years of hiv history has proven that people don't get hiv in the way you are worried is a risk.
Hiv is a fragile virus in air or saliva and is effectively instantly dead in either air or saliva so the WORST that could happen is dead virus rubbed you, and obviously anything which is dead cannot live again so you are good. Blood and cuts would not be relevant in your situation since the hiv has become effectively dead, so you don't have to worry about them to be sure that you are safe.
There is no reason for a person to test when they are safe. The advice took into consideration that the other person might be positive, so move on and enjoy life instead of thinking about this non-event. hiv prevention is straightforward since there are only 3 ways you can become infected, so next time you wonder if you had a risk, ask yourself this QUESTION. "Did I do any of the 3?" Then after you ANSWER "No, I didn't" you will know that it's time to move on back to your happy life.
No one got hiv from what you did during 40 years of hiv history and no one will get it in the next 40 years of your life either.  You can do what you did any time and be safe from hiv.
The other person's status is irrelevant when you have no exposure to live virus.
If you still have questions about your risk, after reading all of the above, then it is because you didn't answer the QUESTION above.

No researched EVER though hiv could be caught from kissing, so your idea is 40 years out of date.

No researcher ever thought hiv could be caught from .....

Even with potential blood in her saliva?

Since you didn't answer the QUESTION I'll do it for you. Answer> No there wasn't a penis in my anus when she kissed me and she didn't inject me so I had no risk and should move on.
