A member asked:

While kissing my hiv positive bf, i tasted a little blood in my mouth. if it was his blood, can hiv be transmitted if i have no open cuts & sores?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doubtful: but the blood came from somewhere! If not using condoms or not having vaginal or anal intercourse, the transmission via saliva is exceptionally low, but has been reported: get examined and tested.
