Hello,

HIV concentration is highest in blood. So, if mucous membrane or broken skin comes into contact with HIV positive blood than HIV can spread. Otherwise, it is not spread commonly through saliva. You already have cut in the upper lip, so if that lady is also having soreness or cut in mouth than you might contract her blood and HIV can spread.

You can investigate with combo HIV test by CMIA that detect both p24 antigen and gp41 antibody (after 3 to 4 weeks of exposure).

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami
