Open Mouth Kissing

[CletusMagruder]

I am freaking out because I met a woman off the internet at a local cafe and before I left I kissed her with an open mouth (probably 10 seconds total).

Does this merit an HIV test?

Your question was answered. Move along.

[CletusMagruder]

How come no one wants to answer my question?

Even if the woman had HIV?

Take it to the anxiety forum, you do not have an HIV concern.

I don't know. I keep thinking was it possible to have contracted anything from the brief open mouth kiss. I opened my mouth and kissed her upper lip and a little bit of tongue (no deep kissing). It last about 10 seconds or so.

I am having anxiety about it. I had forgotten all about it for months then all of a sudden I was like... Oh man, WHAT IF??

You are probably most anxious over the infidelity?

[CletusMagruder]

Ok, last question... I should put this behind me and not worry about it anymore?

[Teak]

Have no idea. There isn't a what if.

[CletusMagruder]

Then why I am so anxious? I keep thinking What if... What if...

[Teak]

You never had an exposure.

[CletusMagruder]

So what are you saying? I'm a nervous wreck and worried.
Is a test warranted at all? Is it ok to have sex with my wife?
