Bleeding Lip kiss

Hello guys,

As per my previous post, I had an incident where I kissed someone whom I didn't know at all.  I had a wound on my lip and a sign of blood when I came back home.

4 weeks gone and now I have sore throat and fever. I also had some itchy rash on my both wrists few days ago.
I am so scared as I read some posts (i.e. http://www.thebody.com/Forums/AIDS/SafeSex/Q206082.html ) where it clearly says that kissing with blood is a risk. could you please advise considering the time frame of the symptoms I am having.

many many many thanks

Many thanks, Lizzie,

So these symptoms happening in a right pattern and right time, dont they mean anything?

I am sure the wound occurred during the kissing incident,

God bless,

"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."
