Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Thanks for posting your query.

Blood transfusion, sharing of sharp instruments, needle stick injury, Anal and vaginal sex are considered to be high risk activities for HIV transmission. Oral sex carries a low risk, whereas all other type of sexual activities including fingering (into anus and/or vagina), deep kissing have negligible risk for HIV as per Centers for Disease Control, XXXXXXX United States of XXXXXXX https://www.yyyyy.gov/yyyyy/yyyyy/yyyyyyyy/yyyyyyyyyy.html
