Welcome to the Forum and thanks for your question. I appreciate the fact that you understand that the web is "scary". Actually, it's even worse than that. It is full of misinformation, most of which I suppose is probably unintentional but the fact is that much of what is seen prominently there is taken out of context, out of date, misinterpretation or just plain wrong and there is no good way to determine what it accurate and what is not. It will mislead you more often than not.
I also want to congratulate you in your pursuit of safe sexual activities. There is absolutely no risk for STIs, including HIV, from the non-penetrative sexual activities, specifically, no risk from receipt (or participation in) masturbation, fingering (this is masturbation), breast relief, sucking on a partner's nipples, blowing on the penis or kissing (open or closed mouth). Thus there is no need for concern and no need for testing related to the activities that you describe.
I hope that this information will be helpful to you. You are in the clear from all of the activities you describe. EWH

Yes, please remember that coincidence becomes more common when anxiety heightens you level of awareness. No reason for concern- zero- nada.
As you know, we provide up to three responses for each question. This will be my final response and the thread will be closed shortly. Please don't worry. EWH
