you can only get STD (sexually transmitted disease) by having sex with someone who has an STD, you are born with it, or you share blood (like making out with someone who has HIV who has a cut in there mouth and you have a cut in yours). You should not have HIV. But if yo uare stil concerned do to the docors. they wont laufh at you for being extra safe.

No, "Although HIV has been transmitted between family members in a household setting, this type of transmission is very rare. These transmissions are believed to have resulted from contact between skin or mucous membranes and infected blood."
If it will make you feel more at ease go see a doctor.

Unfortunately, you may have HIV because HIV can be passed by using things like needles and even SPOONS!! So I suggest that you go to the doctor as soon as POSSIBLE!!!!
GOD BLESS& MANY BLESSINGS

HIV does not spread through saliva. saliva is a non infectious bodily fluid. HIV transmits only thru
* Blood (including menstrual blood)
* Semen
* Vaginal secretions
* Breast milk

No.
Do not worry.
But do avoid it in future.
See a doctor for the peace of your mind.

Hope you did not have open cut in your month. The person did not have open cut in the mouth.

If both of you had a open cut then it is very likely. But still depends on the strains some are more potent then the others.

Some answers are wrong it is not just a sexually transmitted deceases, it can be acquired and transmitted by exchange of body fluids, but in case of use of utensils the exchanges occur in a place very hostile to the virus, so it is destroyed before the exchange can take place.

No you won't, it is not transferable except via bodily fluids such as semen and blood, don't worry. You would have to drink several pints of saliva to get it as the virus is not very strong and dies quickly.

u cant contract HIV through sharing food or cutlery, the only way u can contract it, is through exchanging, bodily fluid through sex, and through using used needles, and blood exchanges, u cant catch it through saliva.
