Bitten by girl in nightclub

Hello.

Last friday i got totally drunk in the club, met one girl who bit me in the shoulder while dancing. Of course i had a t-shirt on and in the next morning there was just a slight mark of her teeth, almost unnoticable, cause the bite was not too hard and through my t-shirt.

Does it posses any risk of HIV or other infection ? Of course i think that there is no risk, since i had noo blood running out, moreover - my skin was not even damaged (just a small red mark).

your comments ?

You were wearing a shirt! There's no chance you could have been infected by anything!  Nothing got through to your skin means nothing could have infected you. I suggest you calm down and stop jumping to outrageous conclusions that have no bearing in reality.

Thanks for the answers with some humor.

But I still haven't received an answer to the question about other diseases which could be spread by biting.

I mean, let's assume that I was naked and the girl bit me in the shoulder without making it bleeding, are there any chances to be infected this way ? (not only with HIV).

In my situation, I think my t-shirt could have made some additional protection from Salvia or blood on her teeth so my chances are even less, right ?

Sorry for my repeating questions, I do not why, but I became really anxious after this"exposure"  - I can't even remember the face of this girl cause I was so drunk and have no idea why she decided to bite me that moment. Strange, what to say - especially that she did it through the shirt.

you have nothing to worry about.That scumbag in the UK was charged for having bitten a police officier and he was HIV+ and the officier has tested negative.

Ok, but Im just wondering are there any other risk for other infections ? Cause it is uncommon for me getting bitten by unknown girl, so that's why I'm worrying now.

I think my tshirt should be some kind of obstacle for infection and also that the wound was almost unvisible the next morning and definitely not visible now.

I'm not paranoic, but this time I'm kind of confused and scared a bit.

You're completely overblowing something that's completely innocuous. A mark isn't a wound. Forget about it.

Thanx for reply. Can i Have some another questions ?

What is considered an open wound ? Only with blood presence ? WHat do you think, in my case not a heavy bite through the t-shirt with almost unnoticable marks in the next morning (~9 hours later) could be considered a wound with any risk for other STDs ?

No, no risk, even if she drew blood. Saliva is not infectious as far as HIV is concerned.
