What Are The Chances Of HIV Transmission From Kissing?
I deep kissed a boy six days ago at a concert. it was very brief. I realized after that I had a split lip during this. Now I have a sore throat and possibly swollen lymph nodes or sore muscles in my neck. I am terrified of a risk of Hlv is there any risk of this? What else could be wrong with me? My throat was also raspy before the incident but now my symptoms seem to have changed

Hello ma'am and welcome.
Chances are quite low and in my opinion as tou already had a vulnerable throat, it seems more likely to be a throat or respiratory infection so please do not worry. Either way, I would recommend a HIV DUO test which can be conducted at day 28, not for ruling out HIV but so you put your mind at ease.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
