Kissed with chest and throat infection.

I lip  kissed a lady of unknown status about 1 minute  . She has cracked lips  and I have Common cold with throat and chest pain even unable to speak  . I know that normally kiss is not a route of HIV transmission. But if I had neck and chest pain or infection  then also I have no problem related to HIV infection? As it may be my throat had  inflammation due to cold and some blood enters into that ? Thank you.

The only risks for HIV in adults are:
1) Having unprotected (no condom) penetrative anal or vaginal sex, OR
2) Sharing IV drug equipment with other IV drug users.

This was a NO-RISK event. Kissing is NEVER a risk for HIV.
Hope the lady doesn't get whatever infection you have.

Thank you for reply . Actually due to cold  my throat is so bad that I am not able to speak and having chest pain with coughing. Even in this situation No risk if she had cracked lips .
I'm sure you know the meaning of the word "only" or "no", so it is time to move on. You didn't get hiv that last time you got a sore throat so don't know why you think this year's sore throat proves anything.
AnxiousNoMore sir I am saying that This throat and Chest infection  situation due to cold  was before kissing Not after . So I am nervous.
You know the meaning of the word "only" or "no" which appear in the advice.  So it's time to move on.
Thank you very much sir .
AnxiousNoMore Sir I have habit of cutting lips all times with teeth’s and having small cuts inside and ouside of lips and she has bleeding  lips even then no problem?  If her cuts of lips touched my cuts of lips then it seems to be direct contact ? Please suggest .
As you were advised by several members, kissing is never a risk for HIV.
