A member asked:

What's the chances of contracting hiv if i kissed a small drop of blood or received oral sex from someone with a small drop of blood on lip?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unless you: have a bleeding wound or an open sore contacting this small drop of blood you do not get it. Blood to blood contact is one way the virus is transmitted.
