hiv and kissing with blood

Today I kissed a man whom a few hours earlier had gotten his wisdom teeth removed. I had only pecked him, No French kissing but I did feel a lip and the tip of my tongue get a little wet. I know his teeth were still bleeding because when he spit I saw blood. Can I get hiv from this incident? Should I start pep. I do not have any sore in my mouth or on my lips but my lips are chapped. Please let me know!

The incorrect statement was: unless this person is gay or shares needles his chances of having HIV are virtually zero anyway.

That is a false statement. In 2011 in the US there were over 13,000 newly diagnosed heterosexual transmissions.

A risk is a risk doesn't matter what your sexual preferences are.. HIV does not have a blind eye on sexual preferences.

Statistic from the CDC--61% of new HIV infections are from MSM,53% of all HIV infections in the USA are MSM,that doesn't include bisexuals,The majority of deaths caused by AIDS related illnesses are MSM.It's a fact & people need to start accepting this.
