bleeding lips with saliva
Hi,
i had bleeding lips and immediately a girl licked the blood from her tongue. If she was hiv positive then please tell me the risk of getting hiv and should i go for a test or not?

No risk. Saliva deactivates hiv.

Thanks for your answer but i had fresh bleeding lips and hiv present in saliva can get access to the blood stream. what would you say about this?
P.S. I knew your answer but i have read on the internet that saliva contains hiv and also deactivates it but i am wondering that it would again get activated when comes in contact with fresh blood of lips.

Thank you so much for your reply and making me feel good! You Rock!
No, it doesn't happen that way. Stop looking for things on the internet. You had no risk and it's best you move away from this unwarranted fear. Sexually, you have to have unprotected sex to contract hiv. No other way is. Be well.
