Oral sex, sore lip after kissing

I had an oral sex where no ejaculation occurred (receiving it) but because of intense kissing realised that my upper lip (from the inside) had a small sore/cut. Its been many years since the guy was last tested. What are the chances for hiv transmission?

Saliva contains over a dozen different enzymes and proteins that inhibits HIV transmission. You had no risk.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child

Thank you a lot for the responses. Asking because theoretically precum carries HIV and the sore is a recent one from kissing, meaning transmission is possible.

Just need some calming because my mind is playing mindgames.
I tested negative on a hiv pcr test post 31 days from the following.  Light kissing, minor tongue action as well as me performing protected oral sex on another man.  It was not for very long.  We stopped because my guilt being married kicked in.  Once he left, checked condom, no breaks.  I am letting all the silly stuff i read and some things im feeling screw with me.  Doctor Hook believes as do I that all is good, the oral and the kissing were no risk.  And him saying he is clean.  I took another test with my doctor on thursday, results back wednesday (which seems like an eternity away).  My mind is wondering why he was chewing minty gum... To hide gum disease and bad breath.   As Dr hook stated.... The negative test result i get on wednesday should be all the proof I need.   Just need some coaching to get me through the next 3 or 4 days.
