Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Kissing with exchange of salive is a risk factor for transmission of HIV.If the status of the female partner is known then the chances of assessing the risk is possible.
Only test which identifies the presence of the virus in the body within a short period after exposure would be a HIV PCR test.This test can identify HIV as early as a month after the exposure.
Wish you good health.
