Sucked breastmilk from a strippers nipple.

Last night I sucked a drop of breastmilk from a strippers nipple. She was a new mother so that is the reason for lactation. What is my risk for any STD's like HIV?

There is no risk here.

There are no STDs in breast milk, and adults are not at risk for HIV from breast milk. They have a mature immune system, saliva inhibits HIV, and they'd have to drink a whole lot of breast milk to get it - a whole lot more than you did, I swear.

You have nothing to worry about here.

Thank you for your comment. Why does everyone here seem to believe you can not get hiv from breast milk but every other website like Reddit believes the opposite. Not trying to disagree or anything but am genuinely curious about the difference of communities
There are a lot of people who are gravely misinformed about HIV, and frankly, there are a lot of scare-mongers who present theoretical risks as real-world risks. For example, receiving oral sex is mentioned by some sites as a risk for HIV, but in actuality, not a single person has ever been infected that way.  

We err on the side of evidence. HIV has been around and studied for about 40 years. If any of these theoretical risks were actual risks, at least some people would have been infected that way by now.
Even the CDC doesn't mention breast milk when talking about adult risks for HIV. That's only listed when talking about pregnancy and childbirth, etc.

Even then, it's not a high risk if the mother is on treatment. If the mom is undetectable, the risk of transmission to the baby through breastfeeding is less than 1%.

Also, remember that most people don't have HIV.
Ya, called a nurse hotline and she recommended I go to the ER lmao
For what?

ERs are for emergencies. This is not an emergency.

You don't even know if the stripper has HIV - and she most likely does not. About 1.2 million people in the US have HIV. There are 334 million people in the US. That is .35% of the population.

Even if she does have HIV, assume she had prenatal care. That means she was tested for HIV. That means if she's positive, she was getting care.

Assume she wouldn't want to transmit it to her baby. She probably doesn't care about you, but she does about her baby.

Logic, dude. Logic says she doesn't have HIV, and even if she did, she'd be on treatment.

Science says that breast milk is not a risk for adults. Your reaction to this is not in proportion to the risk.

"How do you get HIV?
HIV is carried in semen (cum), vaginal fluids, anal mucus, blood, and breast milk. The virus gets in your body through cuts or sores in your skin, and through mucous membranes (like the inside of the vagina, rectum, and opening of the penis). You can get HIV from:

*having vaginal or anal sex

*sharing needles or syringes for shooting drugs, piercings, tattoos, etc.

*getting stuck with a needle that has HIV-infected blood on it

*getting HIV-infected blood, semen (cum), or vaginal fluids into open cuts or sores on your body"

"HIV can also be passed to babies during pregnancy, birth, or breastfeeding. A pregnant person with HIV can take medicine to greatly reduce the chance that their baby will get HIV."

Let it go. You had no risk.
I guess I should add that I chew my cheeks pretty bad so that could be considered a open wound?
It doesn't matter.

There is no risk. You have a mature, competent immune system. There is no risk here for anything.

There is no way to say it any other way. All the what ifs in the world don't matter.

You won't get any STD or HIV from this.

Get counseling. Your reaction to this is way out of proportion to the risk.
