Hiv from Kissing, wounds

I was involved in a deep kissing with a girl with a wound on her inferior lip, which bleed 2 days before the kiss. I had a non-bleeding gum scratch because of brushing for about 2-3 days. I always tried not to touch the zone on her lip, but nevertheless there was exudate, even not tasting it. My question is the risk in this situation for contrecting HIV. Thanks a lot!

Kissing is never a risk for HIV tranmission. The doctors from the expert forum state that kissing, even with sores, small cuts, or recent dental work, is simply not a risk. Saliva inhibits HIV transmission. NO risk!
