Finger cut.
So today I was at work (I work with alcohol). A can p beer fell into a drainage bin in the back beer storage room, I reached in to grab it and a broken beer bottle glass cut my thumb and it bled pretty well for a bit then stopped. I'm wondering if I should be concerned about this and get tested or move on. I washed it off with soap an hand sanitizer. I then put peroxide on it. But back to my question. Should I be concerned or move on?
But I had a split lip at the time of kissing.
Would that make a difference?

Were my tests done at a good time for reliable results?
Irrelevant since you never had an exposure.
I've been told that numerous times. But if it had been would my tests be reliable based on testing guidelines?
You never had an exposure and never needed testing.
So I got a orasure mouth swab 83 days post exposure (deep kissing with lots of saliva exchange) so it was 1 day shy of 12 weeks. This exposure led me to have some oral symptoms after, such a's swollen white tatebud dots on the tip of my tongue and a couple white dots/sores on he side of my tongue. All of those things are gone now. I'm wondering if my test is conclusive and if I can now have we with my new girlfriend?
To add, I had a HIV antibody 1/2 test done at 8 weeks and it was negative also.
