HIV from blood in mouth
Hello,
I recently got a small dot of blood on my tongue from a unknown HIV status person, I straight away wiped my tongue on my hand and didn't taste any blood. I then rinsed my mouth with water. What are the chances of contracting HIV this way. I don't have any open wounds or cuts in my mouth apart from my guns occasionally bleeding when I brush my teeth.
Please ***** my risk thanks.
