OPEN MOUTH KISSING

Hi I had a very intense open mouth, tongue kissing with a prostitute with a lot of saliva involved, mostly hers, my concern is that due to amount of saliva, some blood could pass to me tasteless, and I have bleeding gums and other minor not deep mouth injuries, since those kind of injuries can have small bleeds easily,  My concern is if those injuries could be a entry for the virus to the bloodstream for the blood mixed with saliva or even for some direct blood involve during kissing,

Which of the 3 do you think was your risk, otherwise no one is going to disagree with the advice for straightforward situation you had.
Actually my risk was only the intense mouth kissing, I am afraid if blood involved cause my mouth injuries,
That isn't a risk.  AnxiousNoMore listed the three activities that are a risk for HIV.  Kissing is NOT one of those 3 activities.
I was confused cause kissing is not a risk, but things change if blood involved,
It doesn't change anything. Blood or no blood you had no risk with kissing. In the over 40 year history of HIV research, not even 1 person has been confirmed to be infected through kissing. You aren't going to be the first one in history.
ANX2018   You ignored answering my question  and are making up your own science. I need you to look at the only 3 and answer which you did.
You have no medical training so it is unrealistic for you to disagree with the science and have so much confidence in your own ability to make up a new HIV science.
Actually I do not disagree with just wanted to clarify my exposure and see if any of you see any risk at all, which is clear is not, correct

You had no risk and a test will be a waste of time. You can't get HIV when you used a condom.
HIV is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. It doesn't matter if you and they were actively bleeding or had cuts at the time either because the HIV is effectively dead.
Only adult risks are the following:
1. unprotected penetrating vaginal
2. unprotected penetrating anal sex
3. sharing needles that you inject with. Your situation is a long way from any of these 3.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns, etc the air or the saliva does not allow inactivated virus to infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established so there is no detail that you can add that will make any of your encounter a risk for HIV.  No one in 40 years of HIV history got HIV from the situation you are concerned about so it is unlikely that it will happen in the next 40 of your lifetime either.
