Low risk situation help.

What is the risk of HIV through kissing if blood is there and I has tissue damaged of my tooth gum. It’s gum damaged is from many years so not bleeding that time. I am Not 100% conform of blood from her lips. But she was saying after kissing that you pressed my lips so hard and was painful. My only problem is my front teeth gums . It’s damaged about one fourth of them nail. Dentist said that you need scaling procedure. But usually it’s not bleeds unless press it . Please tell me if i kissed then what is risk if her lips  bleed little and her blood enters my damaged gums portion. Thank you.

It's not a low-risk situation. It's a NO RISK situation.  HIV is not transmitted by kissing, even when there is blood involved.

Thank you for you reply. Should I forget about this situation? Even when there is problem in my front teeth gum ?

[hivstress]

Together with blood involved there is also small problem in my one of teeth front gum .

Forget about it. Kissing is NOT a risk for HIV, no matter what.  Move on from this event.

Kissing, with or without bleeding gums or other mouth sores.  Saliva inhibits the virus, and HIV must enter the bloodstream.  If you had oral injuries sufficient to allow HIV into the blood stream, you would be unable to engage in kissing.

Our members have been clear that you had no risk in relation to HIV from your encounter.

Your situation involves personal contact with an object in air  ( hand, maybe blood, maybe cut, maybe fluids, mouth,  etc. ). You will be happy to learn that you had no risk, because you can't get hiv from personal contact except unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal with a penis, neither of which you did and you didn't share hollow needles to inject with which is the only other way to acquire hiv - there are ONLY 3 ways to get hiv. Note that 2 of them require a penis and the third requires a hollow injecting shared needle - there are no OTHER ways to get hiv. Analysis of large numbers of infected people over the 40 years of hiv history has proven that people don't get hiv in the way you are worried is a risk.
Hiv is a fragile virus in air or saliva and is effectively instantly dead in either air or saliva so the WORST that could happen is dead virus rubbed you, and obviously anything which is dead cannot live again so you are good. Blood and cuts would not be relevant in your situation since the hiv has become effectively dead, so you don't have to worry about them to be sure that you are safe. Any hiv test would be a waste of time.
There is no reason for a person to test when they are safe. The advice took into consideration that the other person might be positive, so move on and enjoy life instead of thinking about this non-event. hiv prevention is straightforward since there are only 3 ways you can become infected, so next time you wonder if you had a risk, ask yourself this QUESTION. "Did I do any of the 3?" Then after you say "No, I didn't" you will know that it's time to move on back to your happy life.
No one got hiv from what you did during 40 years of hiv history and no one will get it in the next 40 years of your life either.  You can do what you did any time and be safe from hiv.
The other person's status is irrelevant when you have no exposure to live virus.
No risk=no hiv disease=no ARS symptoms.
Reread about "unable" in Curfew advice - your jaw would have to be pretty much torn off to have any risk. All of your responses involve only reading part of the advice then asking questions that are already answered.
