deep kissing after dental cleaning

[sztrovacsek]

Dear Doctors,

I was french kissing with a girl (unknown HIV status) who had dental cleaning earlier of the day and she told me she had a little inflation of her gum. I read lots ofo your answer answering saliva doesn't carry the risk, but in this case likely same blood was involved too. I had no cuts in my mouth that I'm aware of, however I bit my lips and the inside of my mouth often. I brushed my teeth about an hour before it happened.
Any reason to test or just simply remember it as a nice evening? No other activity have happened, kissing only.

Thank you

Saliva has over a dozen different enzymes and proteins that inhibits HIV transmission.

Please don't think I'm ignorant or trying to fight, but would it be possible to explain the above. I understand it wont spread this way, but is it because the inhibiting factor of the saliva? Or in order to get the infection you need a higher amount of virus to get into your bloodstream than a bleeding gum (on one party) and a possible cut (on the other party) may possibly provide?
I also understand there is a statistic of zillions of deep kissing a fay and the reasoning if it would spread by this way we would see dozens of cases every day, I'm just trying to understand the reason behind it because otherwise a bleeding wound and and a broken skin could/should be a way to catch this virus.

Thank you for your patience

if you had really read other posts...you would have seen that i posted this in response to another poster earlier today

HERE IS A QUOTE FROM DR HOOK FROM MEDHELP EXPERT FORUM:

There is no risk to you associated with the exposure you describe. We get many questions about kissing and oral exposure and whether or not the presence of a cold sore, bites to the lip, gum disease or other wounds in or around the mouth changes the answer to the question.  The answer is no.  The data which define the absence of any risk of getting HIV through kissing, deep or otherwise has be generated through studies of thousand and thousands of persons, some of whom had cold cores, cuts, etc.  There is no risk.  this is the case even if she was HIV infected or had had oral sex with someone who had HIV immediately prior to your encounter with her
