A member asked:
Can you get hiv from making out with cuts on lips? not inside the mouth. how much blood is needed to transmit on lips? what about chapped lips?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stop worrying: Chapped lips aren't actively bleeding. They are sealed with fibrin and platelets. You're not going to have virally-infected blood enter your system that way.
