Hello,
thanks for the query,
there are several stds that can be transmitted through oral sex. The most common being herpes. Others such as HIV and Hepatitis require contact with blood or blood derived fluids in order to be transmitted.
Hepatitis viruses do not necessarily require a cut or wound as through saliva, transmission is possible.
In the case of HIV, transmission can only occur if the wound was just sustained or it was still fresh and actively bleeding. If it was after a while and the process of healing had begun, it will be less likely that transmission could be possible.
However, you could do an infectious workup to exclude pre-existing infections and later redo the test at the earliest in a months time in order to check if there have been a new infection.
Hope this answers your query, If you have further query, i will be gad to help.
Best regards

Hello,
thanks once more for the query
With the information you have given, HIV infection is less likely, however, other infections such as herpes or hepatitis still have a risk though reduced. Th risk could be increased if it was a wet kiss.
