Hello
You were having bleeding from gums ( teeth ) and kissed the suspected girls ( HIV ) .
Although saliva in the mouth have some bacteriocidal actions i.e. saliva can kill many bacteria but in your case there was were bleeding so this is a cause of concern. You must be investigated for HIV 1 & 2 with other S T Ds.
TRIDOT , ELISA and western blot tests are very effective , While western blot is a specific and most accurate 99.5 % but this should be tested after 2 weeks of contact with an infected person .
Antibodies to HIV begins to appear within 2 weeks of infection and time of period between initial infection and the development of detectable antibodies is rarely > 3 months.
So deal as mentioned above.
Good luck.
