Deep kissing with bleeding gums

Hello Medhelp,

First post here..I am very thankful for this forum.

Roughly a week ago I engaged in deep kissing with someone who I might believe is HIV positive.  I'm not sure if it was during the kissing, or right after, but part of my tooth fell out and my mouth/gums were bleeding pretty heavily. I can't say whether I kissed the person after the bleeding occurred, as I'm not sure when it exactly happened.  Anyways, I wanted to know if I am at risk?  If so, a big risk or.l..?  I am not sure if the other person was bleeding either...would that make a difference?

Thank you!
