Innocent with positive partner

[Monroe01]

Hi Everyone,

I'm a gay male and have a few questions regarding an incident with a new partner. I recently went on two dates with a guy and both nights we ended up making out. The kissing was intense both nights. The only problem is that I had a minor sore throat the first night which progressed into a bit more serious case the second. However, being caught up in the moment I did not really think about it and kissed away anyway. Would the sore throat increase my risk of contracting hiv from him? There is a lot of information out there and sometimes it seems to conflict. Also, we touched each others genitals and did some body kissing, which ended in my giving him a hand-job. His semen did get on my hand and cuticles. I'm not as worried about the touching as I am the kissing with a sore throat though. Any insights as to my risk level would be greatly appreciated. This is the only exposure I have had since my last test, so wondering if now testing is warranted. Thanks again.

Contact with saliva, tears, or sweat has never been shown to result in transmission of HIV.

I'd say your pretty safe, there isnt much of the virus in the saliva and HIV wouldnt survive along enough in the mouth to infect you.

To be infected through the mouth ( and gut) you need to actually consume a large quantity of blood.

So unless you were bleeding and he was bleeding ( noticable bleeding) then maybe

But i doubt you would have been kissing if you were both bleeding from the mouth
