A member asked:

I burned my mouth and got open wounds from it. i made out with a stranger - how likely is it to contract hiv? would he need to be bleeding a lot?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Burned your mouth?: HIV is usually transmitted by sexual secetions, rarely, oral secretions. Doubtful; however, if you have multiple sexual partners, get screened.
