hiv thru kiss
I kissed a guy (french kissing) with tongue, then after few hours i realized i have a small mouth ulcer inside upper lip that is few days already and not painful anymore and small already. not totally healed but not painful to the point i forgot i have a mouth ulcer. it is not bleeding. i also have a dry cracked portion on the corner of my mouth. it cracks when i open my mouth wide but it's not bleeding. but it's not healed yet. my question is can i get hiv from the french kissing because i am worried that whatever in his mouth (not sure if he has blood or what because who inspects inside partner's mouth before kissing) infected me thru my mouth ulcer and cracked corner of lip. we never engaged in anal or oral or masturbation

You were not at risk for HIV.
Kissing is never a risk for HIV, NO MATTER WHAT.
Sexually, the only way HIV is transmitted is by having unprotected anal or vaginal sex.

btw, i use tongue scraper whenever i brush my teeth. will scraping my tongue everyday decrease the saliva enzymes that inhibits hiv virus?
Read my post again. NO MATTER WHAT.
There isn't anything more to say. HIV isn't transmitted by kissing.

okay thanks for the help! another one, does oral sex pose a risk on the same situation i have? (small mouth ulcer inside upper lip that is few days already and not painful anymore and small already. not totally healed but not painful to the point i forgot i have a mouth ulcer. it is not bleeding. a dry cracked portion on the corner of my mouth. it cracks when i open my mouth wide but it's not bleeding. but it's not healed yet)? is oral sex safe on this?
Reread the advice because you haven't understood any of it. If you understood it, you would stop asking the same question, over and over.
i meant for the oral sex part
Again, re-read my post to know the ONLY sexual risk for HIV.
It's all the same problem, failure to read - which Curfew again pointed out today, so there shouldn't be any "if" in your response.
