Brief Answer:
No direct chances of HIV. Relax.

Hello,
Welcome back and thanks for posting your further details so swiftly.
After getting all the details let me reassure you first that there are no chances of getting HIV infection after any of the three incidences.
Hiv virus basically spreads through blood or body fluids from one person to another person by cuts or wounds or mucosal spread.
In any of the incidences there had not been such kind of situation.
So I reassure you that as per the type of exposure yiu need not to be worried. Though there is non need of any tests but if at all you want to confirm the wait for next three months from last exposure.
I hope this helps.

Hello,
Welcome back and thanks for posting your further concern.
There is no direct possibility of HIV by yiur tyoe of exposure. So allay all your fears for the same. Human saliva has certainly enzymes by which the Hiv viruses gets inactivated. So even if the person is Hiv infected then also it is not directly possible to infect other person by saliva. That's why even wet kissing or licking is not a mode of HIV infection.
All your exposures were of quite trivial nature with least possibility of getting HIV.
So relax and don't worry. I further guide you to kindly avoid any risky behaviour or unprotected intercourse.
I hope this helps.
