Kissing....
I know closed mouth kissing is not a risk. But I kissed an old friend who had been in jail for three years. I don't know if anything happened sexually in jail or anything. So I don't know his status. However we open mouth kissed for maybe over 5 minutes. I don't believe I had any cuts and I don't know if he had any cuts.
The worst case scenario if either him or I had cuts and we were kissing, what is the risk to getting HIV? I met someone I want to be with (not him) and I'm just worried I could have got something.
