HIV & Bleeding gums: Hiv is transmitted through blood. If the gums are bleeding there is a chance that the virus could get passed to another person through the blood form the gums. The blood would have to go into an open wound or some other area where there is a chance for absorption. It is highly unlikely that it would happen , but it is possible.

Through oral sex: The bleeding gums and poor oral health increase the risk of transmission through oral sex. The virus could then get into the blood if you have bleeding gums.
