Does HIV contain in Saliva?

Dear Experts,

I got an exposure last 2 weeks, i went to massage service, this is my first time,  and the lady has used her tongue to lick my body & included my navel.

Because of congenital disease, my navel is not completely close and usually inflammated and got blood come out from my navel.

My worry is the HIV virus can enter from the saliva of lady to my body through the navel...

So my question is whether the HIV virus contain in the saliva?

Im very worry because after 2 weeks from that exposure i have fever and rash... Which are the sympton of HIV infection...

Thank you very much for your help

You have no need to worry.  What you describe is not a risk for HIV. HIV is only transmitted through unprotected vaginal or anal sex or sharing of IV drug needles.  Air and saliva inactivate the virus.  This, therefore, is not a risk in any way.  Symptoms you feel you  have are not related to HIV and you do not need to test.  No risk.
