your answer from dr hook:
Welcome to our Forum. I will be happy to comment. First, you do not know that your date has HIV. Most transsexuals do not. Furthermore, whomever told you that the activities you took part in put you at risk for HIV was wrong and does not understand how HIV is transmitted. HIV is transmitted in adults only through penetrative genital or ano-genital sexual contact or by injection of infected material deep into tissue. HIV is not transmitted by kissing, including deep (French) kissing, with or without gingivitis, or transfer of saliva. There is no risk of HIV related to any of the activities you describe. You do not need to worry and do not need testing.
kindly move along...there is nothing more to tell you.

thank you commenting lizzie thanks like i said i want to believe i really do and move on with my life and be able to sleep but i have developed symptoms and some doctor i went to said there is a risk and the cdc says there is a risk too and other doctors say here is no risk so i am confused on what and my symptoms i am experiencing make it even more difficult for me to live my life like i was before now i feel frozen through out the day ..
the cdc is an ultraconservative government agency who would probably like for no one to ever have sex again...geeeeeez
you had NO risk
you had NO risk

"Kissing is no risk, even deep ("French") kissing and even with a person who sores on their mouth or has gum or dental disease." DR HOOK
"Of course no risk. HIV is not transmitted by kissing, even with sores in the mouth.
Despite the billions of kissing events in the AIDS era, not one case of HIV has been known to be transmitted that way, even though millions of those kisses undoubtedly were with cuts in the mouth or on the lips."

You have no risk at all. You don't have hiv, and never had a chance from this incident. Now if you had unprotected vaginal or anal sex before this then you had a risk of which you would need testing out to 3 months. Also sharing injection drugs with others is a risk that would need to be tested to 3 months.
Seek professional mental help. It is 2013. You should know HIV is not transmitted by kissing, You username and your multiple posts are completely inappropriate for your situation. Get a grip.

The advise is to live your life the way you normally live. You can't acquire the virus in through kissing irrespective of your oral condition or discomforts. You never had a risk. Please read about HIV and it's transmission and move on.
