Any real risk?

I am new to this in every respect so please forgive my naivete. I am 35 year old woman who is newly divorced after 10 years of marriage. I recently I started dating again, and although nothing has gone beyond a kiss, I have passionately kissed 2 men. My concern is this, a few weeks ago I was kissing a man in  bar who I had just met and who I no longer have contact with. For a moment during our kissing session tasted something funny. At the time I thought nothing of it. But now I'm wondering if it was blood as the taste was a bit metallic.
I googled around which was probably a bad idea and have sufficiently scared the crap out  of myself. Needless to say,  I'm now a nervous wreck wondering what I've exposed myself to. Should I be worried as I am. Do I need to get myself tested?

No risk, kissing is risk-free when it comes to HIV. The taste is probably due to the fact that he's a smoker or simply because of the liquors you or him had drunk in the bar.

Hello, regarding HIV, kissing is not considered a risky activity, there are no reports of people getting HIV by doing what you did. There is no need to worry or get tested for HIV.
