Sensitive lips (Cuts) - HIV ?
Hi,
I am a person with a very sensitive body and I fall sick so easily. Also, My skin is very sensitive for example: when I brush my teeth, they bleed a little bit, and my lips are thin and they have little cuts so when I suck my lips or bite them softly I feel they bleed a little bit as well.
On Thursday (27.10.2011) afternoon, I met a strange woman from a dating site and we talked for some time, before I live we kissed on lips three times: The first time and the second time were just kind of a fast/normal lips kiss, But the third on I used my tongue and I licked her lips. That's all and there was no any kind of sex at all involved.
On Monday (31.10.2011) evening, I felt severe sore throat and I went to doctor on Wedensday (2.11.2011) when the pain is far less and I told her and she checked and she told me there is a little red spot and you could have flu/cold and that's all.
Since Monday (31.10.2011) evening till now and I feel that my throat is abnormal. Yes I can swallow but there is a little pain and weird feeling when I try to swallow my saliva. Also, I feel lazy and sleepy (Fatigue) but not so much.
I don't have any noticeable fever nor night sweats nor headache nor rash nor diarrhea nor coughing.
That past couple of days I read a lot about HIV symptoms and transmission and I read that there is a small risk where the HIV could be transmitted through kisses if blood was involved.
I don't know were my lips having cuts and they touched her lips (Which might have some cuts too!), Or is that when I liked her lips with my tongue I swallowed some of her blood and my tongue touches my lips (Which might have some cuts). I don't remember that day I tasted any blood taste in my mouth but a small amount maybe doesn't have any taste.
I am so scared to death, I am paranoid and I swear I feel zone out while thinking of my situation with HIV. I know that the test is the only way to find out but the still the actual results needs 3-6 months to appear.
I am deadly worry and afraid that I might have catched HIV.
Please I beg you help me!

Hi Lizzie Lou
If you kiss an HIV infected person a dry kiss and the infected person has a sore on his lip after an accident of falling a few hours before, does that put you in a risk to get infected.

We get many questions about kissing and oral exposure and whether or not the presence of a cold sore, bites to the lip, gum disease or other wounds in or around the mouth changes the answer to the question. The answer is no. The data which define the absence of any risk of getting HIV through kissing, deep or otherwise has be generated through studies of thousand and thousands of persons, some of whom had cold cores, cuts, etc. There is no risk. this is the case even if she was HIV infected.

i frech kissed a sex worker several times while having sore throat and burned lips, she on the other hand had broken lips too ... is this still a no risk hiv behavior? Im going nuts over mu encounter: oral sex (no tongue insertion, inserted finguer in vagina, deep kissing and protected intercorse)
After reading LIZZIE LOU's and Teak's Opinions I felt much better.
But Yesterday I noticed that I have itchy red acne on my back (Around 25 spots), and I started developing a white tiny spots on my upper lip from the outside.
Also, I am still having the sore throat since Monday (31.10.2011) which means over 10 days already of continuous throat pain, Also, Feeling so sleepy and tired most of the day (Though I sleep 13+ hours daily). And the feeling of a chronic flu.
I am really afraid and panicking - Please tell me what should I do, Should I go to doctor? or wait 3 months to get tested?
LIZZIE LOU and Teak,
I read it already several times that saliva inactivate the virus, But my fear is my lips’ cuts might touch the woman’s lips’ cuts directly and in this situation it is (Blood Blood) exposure without saliva.
What if the tongue itself has some hidden cuts or tiny holes? Any chance of HIV transmissions ?
Please help me !

Teak and LIZZIE LOU,
Maybe you are not waiting me to say this, But I truly feel that you are just great and wonderful persons because you are answering critical questions and your words make many people relieved.
OK, I understand that there is no risk for HIV through kissing...lip cuts or not, and I read (http://www.medhelp.org/posts/HIV-Prevention/Chapped-Lips-kiss/show/582861).
My last three questions are as follows:
1) I have done some research and I found out about Palatine Torus, This is a condition with the roof of the mouth where the bone is slightly lumpy causing the gum to be a bit thinner. It is a common occurrence. If a person has one it can cause undetectable ulcers just from eating, and dentists say this is a possible cause of transmission.
So, Do you think open mouth kissing with lips that have cuts could cause HIV infection considering the possibility that some unnoticeable blood might by involved (From the lips to the lips OR from the lips to the Palatine Torus) ?
2) Do I need to get tested for HIV ?
3) Why on earth there are many medical websites and forums (Which they supposed to educate people) are literally stating that there is a risk of HIV transmission through kissing if lips have cuts ?
P.S. Please forgive me, I am really terrified and I am trying my hardest to keep anxiety under control.

You said: "At no time did you ever have a risk by kissing.", Does that mean: There is no risk at all of getting HIV by kissing? Or something else?
hiv is NOT transmitted through kissing...lip cuts or not.

Thanks Teak for your post, I really appreciate it.
I am sorry but my English level is not that good, So I wanna ask you:

What do you think about the lips cuts and the possibilities of that?
Please answer me !

You are reading content posted in the HIV Prevention Community
Condoms are the most effective way to prevent HIV and STDs.
PrEP is used by people with high risk to prevent HIV infection.
Can I get HIV from surfaces, like toilet seats?
Can you get HIV from casual contact, like hugging?
Frequency of HIV testing depends on your risk.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) may help prevent HIV infection.
last time...you had NO risk and do NOT need testing.
