Can I Contract HIV From Kissing With A Cut On The Gum?
I have receding gums and I engaged in deep french kissing. Also, after brusching my teeth later that night, I realized I had a cut on my gum near my molar. I did not see any blood or sores in the other persons mouth. Should I be worried about HIV transmission?
