Kiss with chewed lips and HIV risk.

I kissed a lady who has cuts on her lips(Realized after ). I also has chewed lips as I had a habit of pulling skin of lips. My lips had small tiny wounds which bleeds sometime also. My question is outer surface of lips there is no saliva and inner surface there so no air if cuts to cuts of lips touches , then is there any risk of HIV? I know that air and saliva deactivate the virus. But what if cuts to cut touches specially outer part of lips.  I am thinking that if there is one cut just attached to another cut then i think there is no air in-between?

Here are the ONLY risks for HIV. To have unprotected vaginal or anal sex or share IV drug needles to inject drugs. Those are literally the only ways adults get HIV. Air and saliva inactivate the virus. You can not, repeat CAN NOT, get HIV through kissing. No reason to worry, no reason to test, no risk

Thank You for reply. Your answer will be same if I had a Bad habit of cutting lips skin by teeth's? I usually have removed skin on my lips inside and outside also.  These removed skin of lips seems to be red dots types  of blood.  Even these conditions lip kiss is not a problem? if she also had removed skin on her lips area?
Kissing is NEVER a risk for HIV.  There is no detail you could add that would make kissing a risk for HIV.
Thank you sir . My last question is that I forgot to mention that I had lip to lip smooch about one minute . So one minute smooch with above mention lips conditions still NO RISK?
I am sure you understand the meaning of the word "never."
