Risk of HIV infection from love bite while on PrEP

Hi doctor,

I am gay, and I'm on prep. I met with another gay man a few days ago. We didn't have any oral or anal sex, but we cuddled naked for a very long time. He kissed/bit my entire upper body, and left quite a few bruises/red marks. I did feel hurt when he bit me. After I came back home and took a shower, I could not tell if the skin around the marks were broken or not. The other guy told me that he is negative and is on Prep too. But I'm a little bit anxious.

I kissed his lips briefly, so I didn't know if there was blood in his saliva or not. What if there was blood and he were hiv positive?

Thank you so much!

You have posted a few other times on this board so should know that oral is not a risk for HIV.

Thanks for replying. But I think this is different than a oral sex... I'm really anxious now...
