Saliva is not infectious.

Well thank you, i looked over internet and i found out that the virus was isolated from saliva, but it was not capable of infecting someone because the concentration in saliva is very low and ineffective. The only possibility in my case would be if he had bleeding gumms while sucking me, and then i got in touch with the layer of his bloody saliva on the condom...that sounds very weird i know, and the possibility is very remote, especially because i had protected oral sex, with properly used condom...I know all the things, but it seems I am getting crazy...the mentioned wound was 20 hours old and small one...
