thank you
Brief Answer:
No risk of HIV so don't worry.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Welcome to HCM.
The survival of HIV virus outside the human body or in an open environment is too difficult and it will die within seconds so no need to worry or get tensed.
Second, are you sure that it was blood only nothing else and if it was blood there than also the risk is nil because HIV is not transmitted in this way even with sores in your mouth so be relaxed and move ahead in life happily.
Consult your local physician for sore in the mouth and take treatment as per the advice. If need any help, write to me and I will hep you straight way.
Thank You

Ok great then even if i have sores and ate less than 10 seconds and even blood exists there is no risk that is the bottom line right ?
can it be that is there blood that is not visible by eye ??? and if it is not visible by eye is there a risk ?
another question what kind of sores that trasmit ?? i mean i have minor sore caz i bite my cheek but it is not bleeding ( let us say the sore was exposed to blood )
what kind of sore it needs.. open , deep or just a sore even it is not bleeding
please reply....please answer the both questions

Brief Answer:
HIV is not transmitted through the way you had asked for so don't worry.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Thanks for follow-up.
If there is blood not visible to eye than also the risk is not there because it is very hard for the virus to survive outside the human body. Human saliva also contains an enzyme that inhibits the growth of virus so no need to worry at all.
As such the risk of transmission of HIV through oral sex is very less and it can be possible only when you are performing oral sex on someone who does have HIV and you have cuts, sores or abrasions in your mouth or gums.
Don't get worried or tensed as you are risk free. Be relaxed and move ahead in life happily. For any query contact me any time. Avoid unnecessary stress or negative thoughts. Wishing you happy and healthy life ahead.
