Question 1

can few drops of breast milk transmit hiv and can rubbing penis in lackting nipple transmit hiv?

Accepted Answer

: No to both. People worry about breast, milk or nipple fluid contact because nursing mothers can transmit HIV to their babies. However, even that is pretty low risk:  By 6 months of age, swallowing a few ounces of milk every day, only 15% of such babies are infected. The risk is zero for the trivial amounts in exposures like this. Don't worry about it.

Question 2

can you get hiv from nipple sucking?

Accepted Answer

Very Low Risk: Since the only data available on transmission from nipple to oral route of HIV transmission is derived from studies looking at breast-feeding babies with HIV+ moms the relative risk is approximately 1:3500 each day of exposure.  As the child is receiving more fluid from the mother that simple nipple sucking would provide the risk an adult performing this act would encounter is likely even lower.

Question 3

is sucking a bleeding nipple a risk for hiv transmission? i sucked an hiv-positive mans nipples for several minutes while we masturbated. when we finished, i noticed a few (4-6) small stains of dry blood in the nipple area of his shirt. am i at risk?

Accepted Answer

: Yes. Please get HIV tested.

Question 4

i put finger in vagina of my gf during periods. i possibly got vaginal fluids and some blood on my finger. then out of passion, i rubbed my hand across her body possibly getting fluid/blood on her breasts. eventually sucked nipples.can i get hiv?

Accepted Answer

: Even if your GF has HIV you are at low risk. If she does not have HIV, there is no risk. Both of you could get tested to reassure yourselves.

Question 5

can you get aids/hiv from sucking a woman nipples...what are ways can you get aids or hiv?

Accepted Answer

HIV through skin?: Hi

no.  That is the simple answer.  
The exposure to get HIV would involve exposure to an infected persons internal linings of their vagina or rectum and/or to the body fluids of an infected person such as blood or semen.

But, thank you for asking. Remember there is no risk of contracting HIV through kissing, living with someone who has HIV or almost all other human encounters.

Question 6

i have a question about hiv. i kissed a female nipple. not sucking just a kiss and now i'm worried about getting hiv from that kiss on the nipple.

Accepted Answer

Your question: suggests a lot of misinformation. First, I presume you don't even know if your partner has HIV. Next, HIV is transmitted through exposure to bodily fluids. Unless your partner had an open wound/cut on her nipple, there is no exposure to fluid; there is no risk of transmission from what you describe. Please educate yourself on safe sexual practices and risks of sexually transmitted infections.

Question 7

can nipple biting be a source of hiv transmission?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Transmission of HIV through saliva is highly unlikely, since the enzymes kill the virus.  If the person doing the biting draws blood and they are bleeding and have HIV disease, this is conceivable, but very improbable.

Question 8

can there be hiv transmission through nipple biting?

Accepted Answer

Only if...: Only if there is breast milk from a female, or if the biting is so hard that the skin is broken and bleeding occurs.

If you are biting that hard, it's too hard.

Question 9

am i at higher risk for hep c and hiv if i get my nipples pierced?

Accepted Answer

No risk: First having piercings does not increase your susceptibility to these viruses. Second, HIV is not transmitted from inanimate objects. Hep C is a risk if the piercer has not cleaned their equipment.

Question 10

could someone get hiv from sucking or kissing a sex worker nipple? is that possible?

Accepted Answer

No: Hiv infections are not transmitted that way.
