Can you contact an std like hiv from sharing a drink with somebody who has gum disease? i dont know if their gums bled, but i am very concerned as i do not know their health history?

HIV is transmitted through broken skin, open wounds, but mostly through mucosal membranes which is not what above scenario describes, other infections remain possible. A reliable site is cdc.gov in clarifying HIV transmission.

These diseases are contracted from exchange of fluids and not from the scenario you describe. To prevent worries next time pl dont share a drink with strangers.
