Brief Answer:
Both partners should have bleeding sores or wounds for spreading.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Both partners have bleeding sores or wounds in oral cavity for HIV spreading through kissing. Even that also have very less chance. But such cases are not reported. Just saying theoretically possible. So you don't need to worry. If still bothers you then can get a counselling from psychologist and do a HIV Duo test after 1 month of exposure for assurance.
Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.

Dr should I see a blood on my active wound for hiv to transmit
I never had sex but I was kissing some one but no blood involved
And he sucked my nipples and got cut on me with little blood but I know slaiva does not transmit hiv and his mouth is clean no blood should I be worried
But I don't know his hiv status
But one thing for sure no blood on the nipped from him
Dr I was told from a dr that the mouth is not a mood of hiv transmition even if there is cut or blood because the blood should me a lot for the hiv to trsnmit I'm scared because I have osd and the cut on the sides of my nupples worried me if there is blood came in with out seen it but he used his teeth so I guess there is no way for blood to come in and I did not see blood from his mouth to my nipples even if there is I think slaiva would kills it what I mean is if there is blood from his mouth and while the sucking their is slaiva included and would kill it

Welcome again.
Thank you for your follow up.
It is true that there are no cases of HIV reported by transmitting through sucking breast or mouth kissing. Just saying theoretically there is possibility if both partners have bleeding wounds. Still that also chances is minute. Yes , you are right blood should be present more if bleeding from mouth also.
In your case I don't think there is a risk for HIV. You should just relax and forget about it. There is nothing to worry.
You can go for HIV test for more assurance.
