No risk, no worries: Nobody has ever been known to catch HIV from swallowing a few drops of blood with food. Sores or wounds like the ones you mention don't change anything. No risk at all, no worries, no need for testing. Good luck!

Get tested: Apparently no amount of reassurance is going to work. If you are concerned about HIV infection, get tested.
