Maybe a silly question but I want to always practice safety with my partner!

I was visiting China in frankly a nice hotel and had a massage; only activity was massage therapist rubbed her breasts on my body and she sucked on my nipples a little but no biting or blood.

Is this 100% safe with no chance of any diseases being transmitted?

Thanks

I noted no visible sores on her mouth and for whatever it’s worth her sucking was minimal. Is this encounter no risk and can I have sex with my partner

Welcome to the Forum.  I'll be glad to comment.  There is no risk for HIV or any other STI from having someone rub their breasts on your body.  This would be true even if she were lactating or had a sore on her breast.  Still no risk.  Similarly, no risk at all from having her suck your nipples,  again even if she had mouth lesions-still no risk at all.  No need for testing of any sort.  EWH---

A quick follow up Dr and I’m out; can you explain medically why her sucking on my nipples is a no risk event? And, finally statistically speaking is it 99.9 % no issue. I will ask no follow ups. Thanks and God bless you.

Repeating the question will not change the answer.  NO risk-none.

Not sure what is meant by "medically".  Ingestion of STIs, including HIV, does not lead to infection.  The mouth resists infection and swallowed organisms are killed by stomach acid.  EWH

Dr Hook, I probably did not say it correctly using the word medically  but what I was asking is why a woman sucking on the nipple of a man is a no risk event? I understand the other action being no risk. Not trying to ask the same question just trying to understand why infection can’t pass this way. You can close after this clarification and  thank you

Mechanically sucking and licking is not direct contact.  Even in infected persons their is very little HIV in saliva and sucking would not transfer infection.  Many studies have been carried out. NONE have suggested that HIV can be transmitted through having one's nipples sucked.  EWH---
