Kissing a +ve man...worth testing?

Hello.
Question for anyone who may know. I went out last weekend....Met a rather nice guy.
We made out for nearly 2 hours (french kissing)..no sex.
Should I be worried about him being +ve regarding the kissing?
I know about condom use for sex and all...and would/will use them when/if the occassion arises.
I do not want his status of being positive hinder a relationship with such a nice guy.
Are concerns warranted if he is positive and I was unaware of any blood, minor cuts, etc?

If your in this much fear that you would end a relationship then I suggest seeing a therapist because you will never be able to develop a relationship if you let just kissing bring this kind of fear to you.

No. We did not have unprotected sex.  Now that I look back in hindsight it is best that I not continue the relationship.  If I fear this much about kissing, I could only imagine what sex (protected) would bring about.
THanks Vance.

No risk never changes unless the story changes to where the person had unprotected sex.

I say this because we got kinda "Sexually hostile" with our nearly 2 hour make out session. Due to the fact that I already have receding gums ...I am curious or apprehensive about testing.

"What if" is the worst thing to think because "what if's" never really happen.
No matter what you in your post it is not going to change that fact that kissing is never a risk.

What if I could taste blood?  Was that a bad sign or reason to test?

MOVE ON. HIV is not transmitted by kissing.
