My gums were not bleeding at the moment we were kissing, but an hour later, when I got home
and flossed my
teeth, they bled. Could I have been exposed to HIV if my partner was HIV+? The kissing thing hasn't lasted long, since I was aware my gums were irritated. I tried to keep my mouth closed as much as possible. So, not much of oral exploration, just brief introductions of my partner's tongue inside my mouth, but not "passionate open-mouthed" kisses.
