Brief Answer:
HIV/STI risk is negligible
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to ASK A DOCTOR through HCM.
Thanks for posting your query.
Kissing over cheek and nipple sucking have no risk for HIV. Deep kiss may carry a negligible risk as well as the bite. (https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/risk/estimates/riskbehaviors.html)
Not to worry. a
Anyhow if it is not beyond 72 hours, better opt for PEP to be on the safer side.

Brief Answer:
Your HIV risk is negligible
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
As per Centers for Diseases control in XXXXXXX US, the HIV transmission risk through bite is negligible as I had quoted already. But not Nil.
I am managing HIV cases for the past 33 years. I hadn't come across any such case so far.
Regarding oral sex, it is said to be low HIV risk.
But I had come across three or four cases of HIV transmission through oral sex. So it is better to have a protected or better avoid oral sex with unknown person.
