kissing involving bleeding gums and sperm
Hello doctors and experts ,
I would like to pose the following question since my gums are susceptible to bleeding :
If gums bleed and I only kiss the guy without any oral sex on my part ,is it possible to contract the HIV virus?
I know thsat it 's not feasible through saliva but since there is my blood involved and what if : A the other guy has bleeding gums as well B the other guy put his finger that had sperm on it into his mouth.
My point being is ,when I kiss him I can come in contact with his blood or sperm, too.
Can I contract the HIV virus?
Thank you very much
