French Kissing
2 days ago I was in a party and was quite drunk. This being the case and the atmosphere there, I was with a girl I met there and we have kissed (firstly briefly kissed lips on lips, then french kissed for a few times, each lasted for around 4 to 5 seconds). After that, I went to her place and she started to perform oral on me, but I suddenly feel it was not right to do this so I immediately pulled away, so she literally performed oral on me for like a second or so.
I am more concerned on the french kissing encounter, as I have canker sores inside my lips. As it is considered an open sore/cut, does it pose any risks on HIV infection? Because I saw answers here usually said that kissing even french kissing has no risk in terms of HIV, except if there are bleeding gums or open sores inside the mouth......

For HIV to infect, you need deep gaping wounds, not minor things like cankers and oral is not a risk either. HIV is inactivated in the air and in saliva so you worried about nothing.
