Title: nipple sucking and HIV
Post by: kp on December 26, 2006, 01:13:36 pm

Hi,

I have sucked a girl's (sex worker) nipple yesterday night and there's some blood from her nipple in my mouth that I noticed. I already know about oral sex is very low risk but just worry about blood from her nipple in my mouth. I wasn't sure I swallowed it or not. But when intercourse, I used condom correctly I think. So do i need to test ?

PS: to admin: I'm a member of old forum and I have just registered new account for new forum. If I got 2 account, sorry for it and I'll delete one account if nescessary.

No, you do not need to test for sucking someones nipples. Please take time to read the lessons found in the "Welcome" thread by following the links.

Thanks and I appreciate ur advice.
I also read in some topic that sucking nipple is not the way of transmission.
But I'm worrying about her blood from her nipple in my mouth.
I didn't know her nipple is bleeding at that time.

Unless you bit the end of her nipple off and continued to suck and had a major laceration inside your mouth, then you would have something to worry about.

And that last unlikely scenario which Rod laid out for you would only become risky IF the woman is in fact HIV+.

And that's a big if in this non-risk situation you are concerned about.

thanks for your replies.
I think I didn't bite her tits and also I havn't major laceration in my mouth at that time. But I don't know there're some little cuts in my mouth or not.

I would like to know one thing more.
Although I didn't have cut in my mouth, can HIV transmit by swallowing (a little) blood from her nipple?
thanks.

No, you can not get HIV from swallowing a little bit of blood nor a large amount of blood.

kp,

NO! If you don't know you have a cut in your mouth, it's not anything to worry about.

I'm pretty sure I remember you from the old forum. Please make sure you read through the Welcome Thread (http://forums.poz.com/index.php?topic=220.0) and take note of our posting guidelines. You won't be able to keep asking the same question over and over again about the same no risk event.

You didn't have a risk for hiv infection in sucking nipples - blood or no blood.

Ann
