Does it spread through sucking nipples
Hi I had one more question, does it spread through sucking nipples if there is any fluid present on the nipple.

In adults, HIV is ONLY transmitted by:
1) having unprotected, penetrative vaginal or anal sex, or
2) sharing IV drug needles with other IV drug users.
If you do not do either of those things, you will never have to worry about HIV. Any other event that you can think of is NOT a risk for HIV, so there is no need to ask about other events/scenarios.

Ok thanks, I was thinking too much coz of which I am so scared. Also I do not know if the condom had broken or if it had any damage. I am sorry for asking too many irrelevant questions but will we come to know if the condom breaks or tears ? Or will it just have small tear which goes unnoticed ?
Condoms are designed to break WIDE open when they fail. You would have noticed for sure, because the condom would have been hard to remove with a giant tear in it. Forget about so-called microscopic holes in condoms - those are mythical and wouldn't result in HIV transmission.
Only unprotected vaginal or anal intercourse can spread HIV, Nipples are not vaginal sex.

Saliva inactivates HIV. You have saliva in your mouth.
