This is a tricky question as saliva it's self is an antibacterial, that's why cats and animals lick their wounds. However if one person bites someone else than your saliva works as lets a poison, helping cause infection. So if it is your wound you can lick it but please do not go around lick peoples wounds. It is also a low risk of getting aids if you have a cut in your mouth and you lick someone you is HIV+ blood. so yea don't lick peoples wounds.
