Brief Answer:
No risk of HIV transmission.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Human saliva is not the fluid which transmits HIV virus and it also contains an enzyme which inhibits the growth of HIV virus so there is no risk of infection in your exposure. Calm down, forget about the episode and move on in life happily. For any further query feel free to ask me again.
