is there any HIV infection risk from the following situation

[hivphobic]

Dear Doctor , thank you for taking the time to answer my question. I am a 34 year old woman who has had an HIV phobia since I was in my mid teens. I thought it would have gotten better by now but it hasn't.

RECCENT SITUATION:
On May 6, 2014 I was taking to a guy ( whom I thought was my friend) .As I turned to say something to him I was surprised by an open mouth kiss from him. I pushed him away as fast as I could but since the kiss took me by surprise he did have time to stick his tongue in my mouth and fluids did get exchanged for a short time ( 1-2 seconds). I immediately thought of HIV and checked his lower gums for any signs of bleeding. I saw none. I ran to the bathroom to washout my mouth with water.

Two days after, my lower lip began bleeding a little and this got me thinking more about HIV infection. I ran to his room and demanded he show me his last HIV test. Turns out, he had done a test on January10, 2014 and the results were negative.

But I still wasn’t at ease. I got frequent nightmares and body pains( but I usually get these every time i have a panic attack). For a month after the kiss incident I closely monitored my body for any initial HIV infection signs. I saw none. But recently on June 18, 2014 I got a stomach bug. I ate some food and then got serious stomach pains and diarrhea plus body pains. This lasted for a few days.  I once again began to attribute this to HIV. Now I am a nervous wreck.

Dear doctor, could the kiss situation I described above have transmitted HIV to me( IF the guy did get HIV infection within the 6 month untested period)?

And IF he did pass on HIV to me, could it have suppressed my immune system in such a short space of time ( 5-6 weeks) to allow my stomach to turn against me?

I normally have stomach issues ( I think I have Irritable bowel syndrome) but it has never given me such severe tummy pain and body pain. So I don’t know whether to think its HIV or just another tummy issue. My emotions are saying its HIV but these are not normally HIV symptoms.

My goodness all that worry you carry around it must seriously be awful to live like that... I'm HIV pos, ten yes now I have a little boy a hubby a job and recently run a half marathon and I have a fab social life, HIV is not the grim death sentence it was, its now classed as a chronic manageable long term condition similar to diabetes. You should go to your local clinic and ask them to explain in detail about HIV and how it works, maybe once your a little more educated you won't feel so afraid. People are afraid of the unknown I get that I think that you should be brave and face it head on :) good luck xx

But sir what if the guy had blood in his mouth, bleeding gums etc. I did check his lower gums and saw nothing but what if i was wrong. could there be a chance of infection from the short kiss- the situation i described at first ( in the letter above)?

You never had an exposure, HIV is not transmitted by kissing.
