Exposure risk.

Who great is the risk of transmitting HIV virus through kissing if my partner had both syphilis and HIV? and how great is the risk transmitting HIV virus through kissing if my partner had a cut in her lips or gum and I did have a cut too.

Thank you in advance for answering.

There never has and never will be a reported HIV case through kissing, despite cuts and what not. It's impossible. Your clean man don't worry. But if it really starts to bother you, get tested and feel good.

If you both had cuts, there would be a tiny, tiny chance. The mouth contains enzymes that kill HIV, which is why oral transmission is very difficult.

Unless her cut in her mouth was like pumping blood out like crazy, there's practically no chance you were infected.

Kissing is not a way to transfer HIV.
