Dental Gingivoplasty and Kiss - Risk ?
Hello,
I dont know if the girl have or no HIV. Where I live in Brasil the proportion is 1:1000 (1 case of HIV each 1000 people). I read here too... even same cut, blood, etc fresh kiss is no risk. Ok, I will consider this a "normal condition". But, I did a gingivoplasty. After 18 days, I thought my gums was healed (it seems fine), so I went to a party and kiss (french kiss) a girl during all the nigth. But, after I read about the process of healing after gingivectomy and I found that after 5-14 days surface epithelization is complete, but keratinization is incomplete. This "keratinization" is necessary to made me safe ? To put me a "normal condition" ? After surface epithelization my gums are normal the point of view os risk ? I read the total process of healing takes 3 months! I need wait this time to kiss again ?
In short and more important, are there any risk in my case, if the woman had HIV and had same cut, dental problem, and pass same blood to my mouth. Or after 18 days this surgery, I am in the "normal condition" and my risk is zero too ?
thank a lot!
Sorry for my english.

I think you are right (curiosity and jcc1970). Tks for ur answers. But i would like a doctor opnion. It is not necessary a test ? 18 days after the surgery is safe kiss again.
Pls any doctor could confirm ?
Tks a lot.

If there were enough blood present from both of you to even have a remote chance of transmitting HIV the LAST THING you would have been doing is kissing anybody.
HIV has never been transmitted through kissing. No matter how many "what if's" you try to come up with.
Plus, no matter the procedure healing begins immediately in the body. 18 days is more than enough to create a safe barrier in your gums. Couple this with the fact that there are over a dozen enzymes and proteins in saliva that inhibit the HIV virus. I would say you are going to be fine.
You also assume the person you kissed had HIV which is highly unlikely.
