Totally Freaked

Hi everyone, First of all  i want to say I been reading the forum here searching for answers to my questions and I like to say that it's really commendable that y'all take the time to help out others like this. Ok now for my problem. I been reading so much conflicting information about HIV and STD's and there modes of transmission. Also I don't even know what they mean by sexually active. On one HIV Risk Assement quiz i took it included kissing as sexually active. Now this is what scares me. I like to kiss a lot, and I don't mean a small peck on the lips. I kiss deeply, i use my tounge and suck on the tongue. I normally date older men and they are really into deep kissing. So far I only have kissed. My concern is how risky is deep kissing. I know the CDC says that if sores or cuts are present it presents a low risk. But then it goes on to say, "however prolong deep kissing can cause damage to the mouth". When i kiss and make out it can for and hour or more. So my question is even if when i commence kissing if I deep kiss,(sucking on tongue, getting tongue suck, nibbling on lips) and  I have no cuts in my mouth can the duration of my make out session create a risk? I hope i have made myself clear. I don't know if what i been reading online means that even people who kiss need to test. Do I need to get HIV testing if all i done is french kiss?
Thanks Y'all

I was reading the posting of dr hansfield being biased. Some guy named Jack something or other seems to have a bone to pick with him and he mouths off all these numbers. I have severe anxiety problems so anything sets me off.
