Burnt tongue, making out
Hello,
I burned my tongue yesterday on hookah pipe... just a little bit at the tip of my tongue where the steam entered my mouth. To my knowledge, there was never any blood. One day later, there is still a slight burnt sensation.
Tonight I have a date with a girl I just recently met. Is it safe for me to make out with her (french kiss) or is this risky for HIV, herpes, etc.? I understand that kissing is a low risk activity but I don't know this girl well, she may have small cuts in her mouth, etc. Please advise. Thanks!

Thanks for your response. Here's what concerns me: is a burn an open, communicable sore?
From the CDC...
There is a remote risk from deep, open-mouth kissing if there are sores or bleeding gums and blood is exchanged. Therefore, persons living with HIV should avoid this behavior with a non-infected partner.
