HIV from Wisdom teeth removal?

Hi all, i have 2 questions about HIV transmission through kissing. Hope you can help!

About 2 weeks ago I had my wisdom teeth removed. Last week (a week since i got my wisdom teeth removed) I french kissed a girl. I didn't know whether she was bleeding in the mouth or not but at that time I had some bleeding in my mouth from the wisdom teeth extraction sites (the stiches and all). Additionally, I don't know her HIV status.

My second question is, since the two weeks have passed from the wisdom teeth surgery, last night I poked one of the sites and found out one of the healing site is still not complete because of complications from the stiches as it broke off and thus the wound is still open and it bled. Today I frenchedkissed a girl, again I dont know her HIV status and I dont know if she is bleeding in her mouth inside.

From my given situations, what are the chances of contracting HIV?

Thank you

Thanks!

Is there still a possibility from contracting it even she bit me on my lips?

Additionally, on my second paragraph on my first post (where 2 weeks have passed since I got my wisdom teeth extracted), even though there is discomfort from the disrupted healing site there is no chance of contracting HIV?

We get many questions about kissing and oral exposure and whether or not the presence of a cold sore, bites to the lip, gum disease or other wounds in or around the mouth changes the answer to the question.  The answer is no.  The data which define the absence of any risk of getting HIV through kissing, deep or otherwise has be generated through studies of thousand and thousands of persons, some of whom had cold cores, cuts, etc.  There is no risk.    DR.
