Be careful: Be careful about a few things. It is a risk to expose yourself to the body fluids (saliva) of a stranger - especially when you have a cut in your mouth. But also be careful of using words like "paranoid". You may be overly anxious and distress yourself without need, but the risk, while probably quite small, is real. So, it would not be irrational to seek a pep. You'll need a neg HIV test first.
