Possible exposure opportunity

Hi Everyone.  Thanks for your help. Here is my story:

As I recently broke up with my partner of 16 years, I am kind of a mess.  Due to stress, my upper body has broken out.  I have pimples on my chest and back.  My concerm is that I met a guy, and we had our shirts off and he licked and sucked on my chest and back - both areas with pimples on them.  On two areas  where there was recenly healing pimples and a pimple that had a white top that I was unaware of, he had sucked and licked.  I did not see any blood on my chest or back.  However, while he said he was negative, I could not rely on that.  I also don't know since my skin had blemishes and was not in-tact, does the behavior place me at risk since unbroken skin is a portal for hiv?

Thanks a million for your help everyone.

So, even if his saliva had blood traces (I never saw blood on my body), I am still ok?  I just know that most people have some dental problems (gingivitis, scrapes, etc.) and slight bleeding/abrasion is normal.

You were never at risk. Saliva is not infectious.
