Kissing with cut in mouth

Hi,

Earlier in the day while I was eating I bit my lip. The cut was not really deep, but there was some blood. About 6+ hours later, I engaged in deep kissing with a girl. I am a chronic Hep B carrier, in the inactive state, and have a very low viral count, and I read that Hep B cannot be passed through kissing. This is what I told the girl before we started kissing, but I had forgotten about the cut from earlier in the day. I do not think she was bleeding inside her mouth, and I am pretty sure my cut was not openly bleeding, but it was still there. 1.) Is she at risk of contracting Hep B this way? (I do not think she was vaccinated) 2.) If she has Hep C or HIV, am I at risk of contracting any of these through the cut from the kissing? Thanks.

Probably no one can tell yes or no coz chances are there with a bleed in ur mouth minor or major doesn't count coz a single virus can establish infection. Though kissing is believed not to cause these but hbsag is found in saliva. So only time can predict she gets it or not. Hope her oral mucosa wasn't ruptured while the action to any extent. Hep b is a big hault in cherishing our own lives.
