Holding Blood in Mouth

I recently engaged in french kissing with a random girl whom I just met at the bar in Los Angeles. Just after she started kissing me I tasted blood in my mouth and ran to bathroom, holding the fluid in my mouth without swallowing to spit it out. I hold it approximately 3-4 minutes in my mouth than spitted out as there was as I waited for another person to get out of washroom. I had a bitten inner-cheek at the time of activity and since I holded her fluids and blood inside my mouth around few minutes before spitting out, am I under risk of HIV if she has HIV? I am so scared.

You don't contract HIV from Kissing even if you bit the inside of your jaw.

Thanks Teak for taking your time, my problem is holding her blood inside my mouth with a bitten cheek for few minutes before spitting out. Is it possible to contract that way?

No, for one you are not going to hold that much blood in your mouth when French kissing and your mouth is not hospitable for HIV. Your saliva has over 12 different proteins and enzymes that inhibits the HIV virus from infecting.
