worried

hi,
    I wanted to ask a question. I'm a guy. I smooched a girl who says she doesn't have any gum problems. I don't have any gum problems either. I smooched her while she was on her menstrual cycle. She has polycystic ovaries. Am I at risk for HIV if she is infected with it ?
Please clarify.

"Kissing is no risk, even deep ("French") kissing and even with a person who sores on their mouth or has gum or dental disease."   DR HOOK

"Of course no risk. HIV is not transmitted by kissing, even with sores in the mouth.

Despite the billions of kissing events in the AIDS era, not one case of HIV has been known to be transmitted that way, even though millions of those kisses undoubtedly were with cuts in the mouth or on the lips."
