Possible exposure..scared..pls advise

Dear Doctor: ?

Dear Patient: Hello,
Thank you for your query at Sehat.com
I am pleased to assist you.
HIV infection/ AIDS can't be transmitted without anal/ vaginal intercourse, or receiving contaminated blood products, e.t.c
Deep kissing or nipple sucking act can't transmit HIV. Theoretically HIV can be transmitted if both the partners have open wound and there is contact between the wounds, but this is miniscule and I am yet to come across a case of HIV infection from such an exposure.
So please do not worry.

Hope this was helpful,
Regards.
