I can assure you 100% that there was no risk from HIV in this encounter. Do not spend another minute worrying about this. They call these sexually transmitted diseases for a reason - you need to have sex to transmit them. Kissing is no risk for HIV. End of. Stop worrying and be happy. Just ensure condom use for oral/vaginal/anal sex and u never need worry about HIV

its just that im an anxious person and i do want to go get tested just in case but the waiting for results process will probably kill me from the stress. one last question can anxiety cause physical sypmtoms cuz i have a lymph node on my neck that doesnt go away with antibiotics i keep poking it cuz i know its tehre i have thrush my tonsils dont loook rigth theyr swollen all the time but i also have chronic sinusitis so maybe thats why inside of my mouth is so messed up? thank you for teak and alan74 for ur answers btw
Condom for Oral???? Doesn't make a difference. Oral sex is ZERO risk according to MedHelp experts.
That would pose a theoretical risk but very very unlikely even with blood in the mouth. The mouth is a very hostile place for HIV and saliva massively hampers its chance on infection. The mouth is full on enzymes and is in general your bodys first line of defence. I would urge you not to worry about this, your risk is so minimal its just not worth a worry. The term theoretical is used because it may be possible, but its also theoretically possible a meteor might land on you while you read this. You hiv risk from this exposure is about the same as the meteor.
If you remain concerned get a test at 28 days duu/combi you can definitely expect negative results if this was your only exposure.
