Can hiv be transmitted from deep kissing and lip biting?

Possibly: An action that causes exposure to the blood of the other person is a risk.

HIV: Chances are extremely low. If the other person has periodontitis with bleeding gums and they cause trauma to your lip, you might catch the virus. Again very low chance.
