Risk is low, BUT: You can never totally count on someone’s word when it comes to health status without the facts to back those words. The risk is low if the person is truthful, but still is not zero. Be careful !

Little or no risk: Kissing virtually never transmits HIV (few if any known cases ever reported), even by people with untreated HIV. With anti-HIV treatment resulting in undectable virus in the blood, even unprotected sex is risk free for all practical purposes. Of course all this depends on the truth of your kissing partner's medical history and HIV treatment.

Post-exposure : Prophylaxis. If this happened with 72 hours you may consider post-exposure prophylaxis, in consultation with your doctor or emergency room. Visit this site for info; https://aidsinfo.nih.gov/understanding-hiv-aids/fact-sheets/20/87/post-exposure-prophylaxis--pep-
