Blood kiss

Hi all ,

Before i knew i had hiv, i had a bleeding scratch on my finger.
My little cousin who was sitting next to me saw this and as sweet a child can be she wanted to ´heal´ it by kissing it. She kissed before i had the reaction of stopping her and tell that touching blood is bad.

How big is the change she got infected ?
2 weeks later she had small red dots all over her body. (Not the way my hiv rash looked like)
I spoke my hiv doctor as well hé said not to worry but i still do.

  1. I understand you're concerned. We are not medical professionals so couldn't determine your personal risk factor, but if your HIV doctor told you not to worry than everything is probably fine. You can find more specifics about transmission here, that will probably confirm what you talked over with your doctor: https://h-i-v.net/transmission - does this help to answer your question? - Liz (Team Member)

    1. Alafia (Peace) I really appreciate you reaching out to us. I also totally understand where you are coming from. I think you did the right thing by speaking to your doctor. If you can try and relax about it. I suggest that you cover any sores or open blood on skin areas. Khafre (H-I-V.net Team Member)
