Chapped Lip Assurance

[KissHelp]

I have been afraid to test for 2 years, but finally made up my mind and got tested. My result will be given to me on 11-14-2014. Believe it or not I am very anxious and need some real advice. I got into this relationship in a mountainous cold area in Taiwan and started making out multiple times with an unknown status girl. The exposure was just lip kissing/open mouth kissing, but my concern is that we both normally has chapped lips due to the cold weather. I used lip balm, but the chapped lips continued. If both of us had chapped/cracked lips while kissing, "is there a possibility to catch hiv if one or both had superficial bleeding due to the chapped lips." Thanks again.

Thanks NurseGirl,

I got my results today and all tests were negative.

I just want to post this note:

I was Kissing a girl with severely chapped lips. She also had severely chapped lips. We kissed heavily for about 2-5 minutes each occasion and about a total of 7 times. She was from a high risk country (Indonesia Near Bali.) I am pretty sure both of us has superficial cuts on lips due to the severe chapped lips. There was definitely a possibility of slight blood on lips due to the chapping. Nurse Girls Comment and the comments of the Drs and Teak, Vance, the beautiful lady, and other helpful members were accurate. What I trully learned from this experience is that: the first thing that trully matters is if the girl or boy are definitely HIV positive, then the risk needs to be considered. If the girl is not HIV positive then you have nothing to worry about. The ANXIETY trully makes you believe you are sick when in reality you are trully healthy. Thanks a lot NurseGirl for reducing my anxiety, "while I waited for my results."

Thanks Again.

Kissing is never a risk, even with the presence of chapped lips, cold sores, etc.  You do not have an HIV concern.
