Risk of exposure
I am really concerned as I engaged in deep tongue kissing with a man I'd just met and was on antibiotics so my tongue was raw from thrush. What is the risk of contracting HIV or Hepatitis with a raw tongue? I also noticed from about an hour afterwards that I had a bad taste in my mouth and my lips and tongue starting burning and still are burning a week later. What could be causing this? My doctor suspects Herpes and I'm on oral Acyclovir. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I'm sorry but please next time don't do that to somebody that is just really not so cool - you're worried about possibility of HCV what do you think that poor person is thinking?

There is no risk from kissing for HIV or Hepatitis C ,even with thrush or tongue problems. They are both bloodborne diseases. The blood of an HIV or HepC positive person has to enter your bloodstream. Your ok about those two. Herpes I don't know..He'd have to have it first of all anyway.
