A member asked:
Not repeat of the previous question. when we discuss deep cuts of an object, for hiv does this entail a cut that is massively bleeding and require stitches? or any cut that causes any type of bleeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If there is no visible wet blood and/or the sharp object has been in the environment more than a few hours (maybe only a few minutes), the depth of other severity of the injury makes no difference. No risk of HIV or other blood borne viruses.

If one brushed teeth before and deep kissed the another, what's the possibility of HIV transmission? Assuming one is positive and that there have been little bleeding, and cuts in the other mouth? Are cases like this recorded? Is saliva inactivating?
