1. Paper cuts and scrapes don't expose route to your nervous system which is essential for the virus to contact in order for it to replicate. Therefore, no scope of transmission.

2. Injesting infected fluid is not a transmission route as gastric acid in the stomach and saliva inhibits the virus.

You didn't posses any risk and do not need to test. Please accept the help offered to you and move on.

This answers all of your HIV questions, and if you can think of any more just reread about the 3. You had zero risk therefore  testing is irrelevant to your situation because you had zero risk. HIV is a fragile virus, which is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. It doesn't matter if you and they were actively bleeding or had cuts at the time either because the HIV is effectively dead.  
Only 3 adult risks are the following:
1. unprotected penetrating vaginal with a penis
2. unprotected penetrating anal sex with a penis
3. sharing needles that you inject with.
The only way to get HIV is if you did one of the 3. The situation you describe is a long way from any of these 3.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns, etc the air or the saliva does not allow inactivated virus to infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. Doctors have calculated the risk from what you describe to be less than that of being hit by a meteor, therefore no one will get HIV from what you did in the next 40 years of your life either. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established, so no detail that you can add to your encounter will change it from zero risk.
If you didn't have one of the 3 then you are just worrying about your own hiv theory - which is unrealistic for you to think that can become reality - so you should move on back to your happy life instead.
You are doesn't kissing doesn't pose a risk, so kiss all you want because billions of others do this.

I appreciate your reply’s I do! But why is this not risk of like paper cuts on lips both bleeding and closed kiss I heard that even microscopic blood can be transmission is that true or not so even if both lips had bleeding when we kissed surely our blood mixed togther
You heard wrong and it's not a risk. In the history of HIV, no one has ever been infected by kissing. In over 40 years, billions of people have kisses each other, with and without chapped lips or paper cuts or anything else, and NOT ONE has ever been infected with HIV. You will not be the first. Forget about it and live your life.
Reread about air and saliva, either or both of  which your mouth and lips have.
Yes I understand that but does the same apply if both bleeding lips?
Let's make this simple since there are only 3 ways to get hiv. Which of the 3 do you feel was your risk? If none, reread about unrealistic.
