concerned and worried
Hello, I am a bit concerned about exposure to HIV because I french kissed a guy and accidentally bit his tongue and am worried that maybe, due to the bite, it could have caused him to bleed (im not sure if this happened ) and whether some blood could get into my system through cuts on my gums or something.. I am really concerned about this and haven't been able to get my mind off of it .. thank you
oh thanks so much Lizzie Lou!! i really appreicate the doctor's feedback as well and am feeling so much better!!! you're so kind!!
here is a direct quote from dr hook regarding kissing with cuts:
There is no risk to you associated with the exposure you describe. 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 or had had oral sex with someone who had HIV immediately prior to your encounter with her
