How much blood is needed to transmit HIV in the mouth?
If you and someone else you were kissing both had cuts in your mouth, how much blood would be needed to transmit HIV? Is HIV even transmittable through the mouth since it dies once it hits the air? When people use the term "open sore" does that mean currently bleeding or does it mean a sore that has been recently healed over? When I have asked in the past, people have always been pretty vague about amount of blood and open sores. Just wanted to clarify. Thanks
i read through all your posts and the most relevant thing i read was this:
" It wasn't bleeding, pussing, hurting, or anything when we kissed (that I can remember). "
soooooo...looks like you are letting your anxiety fuel your thoughts. there was never blood present in either of your mouths.
time to move on and put this our of your mind.

Kissing is NOT a risk for contracting HIV regardless. It's not about the quantity of blood as much as it is the environment which exists within the mouth.
