Lip picking and HIV

Hi All. I have been picking my lips ever since I can remember. This may be a gross topic, however I have recently been very nervous that I could have contracted HIV due to the cuts on my lips. While I have been safe during intercourse, I have not used any form of protection for performing oral sex on men and am extremely worried that I could have contracted HIV from the open sores on my lips. Does anyone else have a similar concern?

it seems to me it would be a legitimate concern. it is passed through body fluids. i would suggest you talk to someone at a clinic as soon as possible and make sure you get tested and for the sake of others, heed the advice of the clinic personnel as to what intimate activities must be avoided.
