Possible Risk.........Please analyze This !!!

Hi a couple of days ago.....whilst i was brushing i had injured my upper gums a bit.....However after a few hours the bleeding stopped.....I'm basically a healthy guy....but because of my smoking habits my Oral Hygene isn't the best...

I also had dry cut lips & a couple of ulcers within my mouth.....

Recession times have also brought in tense times with my work life.....the same night i found myself at a strip bar....i engaged in some deep kissing with a girl there which lasted about 5 - 10 mins......there was some saliva exchange ???

I'm sure the her saliva came into close proximity with the cut lips, the injury on the gum & the ulcers inside my mouth ??

What are the odds of being infected with HIV this way ????? Is there a chance ??? Has it ever occured in the past....the gum cut was pretty fresh, the lips are dry most times & chapped....& the ulcers were painful....don't know whether they were bleeding......

After this we went to a room & i received a protected ******* & fingered her for a while....No intercourse involved !!!

Would you say the earlier activity of kissing would have carried any risk given the circumstances of improper oral hygene.....????

is it also true that a major risk for HIV can only happen through unprotected anal or vaginal sex............& most other forms of sex....including Oral or kissing are Low Risk ???

V2335, Thanking you responding to my post in such quick time......So you mean ever though i had the cut lips, the ulcers or the fresh cut in the gums i was not opened up to HIV infection.....???

I did read on these forums & the general opinion was saliva was not infectious.....but then i thought maybe things would turn against me coz i had these fresh cuts & ulcers...

So given that so much kissing happens in night clubs & strip clubs there's never been transmission this way han ???

No risk from kissing, never happened. No risk from the protected oral sex or the masterbation.
