tongue issues and hiv

by alan230478, May 27, 2009 06:34PM
Hi

I would like to ask about HIV and transmission through oral kissing.

I met a man online yesterday who said his status was negative and I always play safe we had oral with condoms on and mutually masturbated with deep kissing, no anal, no rimming.

I however burned my tongue on listerine 3 weeks ago causing by tongue taste buds to become inflamed (little red dots all over my mouth and painful) it is healing and I had thought that it had gone but I engaged in kissing and oral with a condom on and my mouth is slightly inflamed is there anything here that i put myself at risk from. I am thinking you cant get hiv from kissing - or can u? What else could inflame my tongue again - could it be th condom?

Am a bit worried incase I have put myself at risk any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
Alan

HIV is not transmitted through kissing or oral sex (condom or not).

You should go to the STD forum for STD questions.  However, use your common sense.  You used a condom.  Condoms protect against most STDs but not all (genital herpes can spread even with a condom because it tends to be skin-to-skin).

Kissing is not a sexual activity.  It may be intimate, but it's not sexual.

Is it not possible to have syphillis, gonoreah or chlamydia in the mouth that then transmits to a person through kissing? was thinking of this when i had the sores on my tongue. thanks again for your help.
