Welcome to the Forum. I'll be pleased to comment. In general, the event you describe carries no meaningful risk for any STI. STIs are transmitted by direct contact so the important questions here are: Did she have an STI? (most people, even exotic dancers, do not), Did she break the skin (you indicate she did not, therefore there is no risk of anything getting into your bloodstream, therefore no risk of HIV or hepatitis), and could she transmit other STIs. For the last question the answer is that unless she had a visible sore on her lip, there was no risk. If there was a sore it might have been a cold sore (herpes type-1 is the virus that causes cold sores) or syphilis (VERY, VERY rare). No risk at all for gonorrhea or chlamydia since chest and nipple skin does not get infected by these organisms.
Without a break in the skin, there is no risk of anything form her mouth getting into your bloodstream.
My advice is to not worry. In the very unlikely event that a sore forms at the site of the nibbling, then you should have the sore tested but otherwise I would not sorry and see no need at all for concern or for other testing.
I hope this comment is helpful. EWH

I think you are overthinking this. There is no risk for HIV or other STI from the event you described. Sucking on a partner's nipple or having your nipple sucked by a partner is a virtually no risk event and should not concern you at all whether there is an open lesion or not.
This is the third and somewhat repetitive answer to your question. Forum guidelines call for us to reply only three times for each question, thus this will be the final reply to this thread. If you have further questions about the no risk event that you described, you will have to start a new question. EWH
