Kissing on the mouth is extremely low risk for HIV transmission: the only time it would be possible if both people had open wounds in their mouths that were bleeding and kissed for a long,long time.

It could be lots of things - or nothing serious. Go to you local GP or local Sexual Health service and get checked out.

Oral sex is low low risk but not no risk. Very few people have been infected with HIV this way. To minimise the chance make sure there is no significant broken skin in your mouth and spit or swallow quickly if you get semen in your mouth.

G'day there. I regularly go tramping with a great bunch of gay mates, one of whom has just disclosed his HIV+ status. He's an awesome guy and we'll be supporting him all the way. However, some of the places we go camping have high levels of mosquitoes and sand flies. What are the risks that these insects could pass HIV along? Thank you for the opportunity to ask, I look forward to a reply, Cheers.

You can’t get get HIV from insect bites - you need significant blood to blood contact for transmission to occur.

It’s likely that it’s illegal for your uncle to be having sex with either of you. However if you are consenting partners using condoms for anal or vaginal sex is essential.
