Trying to rationalize
I'm a gay male and I met another gay male the other night. We didn't engage in anal nor oral sex.
However this concerns me: he stayed the night and we engaged in deep French kissing for quite some time. The next morning when we woke up he was talking and his top gum was visibly bleeding. I stated "your gums are bleeding by two teeth" (because he was talking and I noticed it). He touched his gums and the visible blood transferred to his finger. I am unaware if this occurred during our intense deep kissing. He washed his mouth out. I've searched numerous threads from here, the Drs forum and an AIDS MEDS page that stated "no risk". What concerns me is that there was visible blood and my gums are also suffering from recession. Should I be concerned since obvious blood was present and I could have had an abrasion in my mouth I was not aware of? Thank you tremendously if you know. I've always try to be safe and this happens! Ugh

Thank you so much for a response.
I was able to text him and he states that he scratched his gum. It just freaks me out that there was the sight of visible blood above two teeth near the crevice. I just want to put this behind me.
