Unlikely exposure: Unless this girl had bleeding gums along with HIV there is little chance she could have exposed you. Yes, a cut in your mouth/lip could be an access point. But there are salivary enzymes that suppress the transfer of this virus.If there were bleeding in her mouth/gums,throat which you would likely taste, you might be exposed. You may just want a test to ease your mind.
