kissing with cut on lower lip

kissing with cut on lower lip

in was in indonesia and had an encounter with a sex worker and used a condom and everything was ok jus that i had a chapped lips and so my lower lip was split.....having an ocd i kept checkin if the split was bleeding before the encounter and there was no bleeding as such and inspite of pressing with tissue no blood was coming out........due to my anxiety disoder i kept checking through the encounter also but did not see any blood coming from the spilt but later after finishing everything i checked again and again n had very very lil blood stain on the tissue i was checking with the last time i checked.....i did not indulge in any deep kissing with woman and did not french kiss but did do a light lip to lip couple of times after which i checked and there was no blood on the tissue i checked with.....i had also checked her lower lip and there were no cuts or chapped lips in her case....but the last time i checked i seen very very little blood the tissue i checked with maybe due to harsh checking......but now i am scared i could be exposed to HIV if she might have had a cut on her upper lip and have been really tensed about it.......please advice me.....i kept licking my lips through out out of habit...........please tell me chances on exposure but the woman did not seem to have dry lips or any apparent cuts only concern is split on my lower lip but i checked only her lower lip and did not check the upper lip but there were no apparent cuts or dry lips in her case....please let me know as i am very tensed and also the earliest i can take a HIV test.....thank you..

lizzie thank you for ur reassurance and i hope i am not irritating you because i am really tensed and need to reassure it might have bled very very slightly during the very light but still lip to licking(lightly sucking on the lip) and the last time i cheked after the encounter i checked a couple of times during also there was no blood but after the encounter later like in 5-10 mins maybe i checked again and saw very very lil blood on the tissue (when i check with the tissue i press much harder unlike the while lighly kissing) it did not seem like she had dry lips or any cuts because i happened to check her lower lip and it was ok but i didnt check the upper lip so please rethink and tell me for sure as i am really worried and am ocding like mad and it is making me all anxious......as later i also noticed a light patch on her left breast with slightly inflamed hair follicles that has made me more tensed s this could be a rash and could be because she is infected....i hope she is not she seemed really healthy and more on the plump side..

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  DR HOOK / MEDHELP
