Brief answer.....no chance of HIV
Detailed answer.....
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
For HIV to occur,the body fluids ( in your case semen or precum ) must come into contact with a mucous membrane Or the damaged tissue or be directly injected in your blood stream either by a needle or a syringe.
In your case,both the partners were wearing clothes and hence there was no transmission of body fluid. So there is no chance of HIV in you.
Simply relax and forget it.
I hope it helps,however you are most welcome to revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks

Hello,
It can not be HIV,as I said very clearly in my earlier reply.
Relax and take it out of your mind.
As far as fever is concerned,it is due to some other reason like viral fever, and not due to HIV.

Hello,
Kissing normally doesn't transmit HIV since salva contains very weak presence of HIV virus,however if there are wounds in oral mucosa of both the people,it can be transmitted.
Thanks
