Cuts On Chin, Adam's Apple, Licked By Unaware Partner. Spirit, Lotion Applied. Risk Of Stds?
hello doctor
are you available now?
I met a friend after a quick shave. While shaving i had a few minute cuts on my chin and my adam's apple. The ones on the chin were extremely minute while the one on the adam's apple was a bit bigger. They bled and after applying after shave spirit and lotion, the bleeding stopped.
About 25 minutes later, my friend and i got a bit cozy and he licked my chin - i don't think he licked my throat or neck - but he might have.
I did not realize at first - thinking that saliva on skin is no threat - but later i rememberd that i had had a cut and i had bled.
i wish to know if there is any risk of transmission in case he was carrying anything?

So dont worry you are safe.
