Risk of transmitting HIV by kiss without BLLEDING GUMS.

Resolved Question:

I used toothpick after dinner and can't confirm blood presence. Very vague check on the toothpick after that showed no blood presence but can't confirm. Engaged in a French kissing act with a GRO and can't confirm her status of HIV and if she had bleeding gums internally. Just exterior look and taste sensed no blood.

Am I at a risk of transmitting HIV, even on a worst case scenario where she might have used a toothpick too 2 hrs earlier? I was diagnosed with Herpes Simplex type 1 (no idea how I contracted it as I've been safe with my sexual acts) and it's a non active STD, as in I don't have blisters or any other symptoms. Been very active in sports and lead a healthy lifestyle.

Thanks and concerned.

Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
The swelling as well pain suggest that there is some obstruction in the left ureter. The most common cause for this obstruction is due to stones.

I am not really concerned about the pain and swelling but I am certainly concerned about the fever part.
You should see a doctor. Get yourself investigated with some blood tests such as CBC and get ultrasound KUB. Once you have the reports you can upload it for me to review.
However it is better you start treatment immediately after physical examination.

Feel free to discuss further,

Sincerely
Rajiv Goel
