hiv facts...confused at risk?

hello
  I have one last long question to ask, then I'll listen to your comments. On May 27 I asked a question, how much of a risk of hiv transmitted by a kiss. And not a deep kiss but was a open mouth tongue touch and lips contact for a 20 -30 seconds or so. Did not taste blood or see blood, but who can be sure. NO open cuts that I know of either. But I do have a geographic tongue if that matters. Not sure of the other persons hiv status. But was a stripper in Vegas. I have read alot about this and I am confused about a few things. Some people say you would need alot of blood other say just a little blood could do it. Also I know of only one case in 1997 it is said to have happen. But what makes me think is how many cases could of it happen and was missed. For example people who just kiss most of the time would not worry about it at that moment. But after having sex a few times might then get tested and how are they for sure where then they came in concact with it. If they tested postive. Maybe the kissing or was it the sex. Last thing is a 14 day pcr test. Is it that accurate?

Also, i would worry to much about the whole geographic toungue thing (migratory glossitis). I have gotten that im pretty sure for years now and way before i was ever worried about HIV. I just had my 6 week negative about 2 weeks ago and i have geographic tounge right now. I also had it about a month before i tested and i even went to the doctor and she said dont worry about it im sure it will go away in a few days and it did. Yours will go away in a coupld of days to. If you look it up on the internet it says that it can also be caused by stress.

*sigh* You CANT get HIV from kissing dude. Honestly, it doesnt happen. There isnt enough HIV in saliva for that ****.  thats why people can get blowjobs and not get infected because theres a LOT more saliva when you do that (well in my experience anyways hahaha). it doesnt happen. Dont waste ur money on those stupid tests, if u HAVE to get a test, just wait till like 6 weeks after ur exposue and get an elisa. if ur sexually active u should get one a year anyways, so do it now.
