So im a 18 year old male in Dubai and today i kissed a trans girl (french kissed her) and we shared saliva obviously. and 10 minutes after making out i cut inside my mouth and i was bleeding heavly. my question is do i have a risk of contracting hiv from this exposure? maybe some of her saliva was still in my mouth.

Welcome to our Forum and thanks for your questions.  I'll be glad to comment.  HIV is quite rare in Dubai, even amongst trans persons.  Even more importantly, HIV is not transmitted through exposure to saliva- French kissing is a no risk activity.  The presence of a cut in your mouth dies not change this assessment.

I see no reason for concern and no medical or scientific reason for testing.  Please don't worry.  EWH
