Follow Up

I posted a question last week but did not think it was fair to follow up without paying again.

I asked the dr. if a girl sucked my nipples but no other exposure any chance of contacting anything...remote chance of Herpes or Syhpillis he said...better chance of getting hit by lightning bolt I think was the statement.

I dont think I saw sores on her mouth but what if it was covered by make up? How long until something would appear like a lesion....what % of time does a lesion actually appear? Is is always directly on the contact site?? Could it be off the nipple by an inch? I have a very small dry spot about the size of a pin head about an inch off my nipple.

Am I ok do you think? I am probably over worrying...I am a worrier by nature...thanks.

"Theoretically possible" is no different than "It could happen but almost never does", and "No chance for practical purposes", and "This is a silly thing to be worried about".  The same things could be said about being struck by a meteorite.  In our combined 60 years ( ! ) of STD experience, neither of us has ever seen such a case of syphilis.  Please suck it up and move on.

And you can be confident that the forum rules are not going to change.  Re-read my explanation above.  We are not inclined to serve as a psychological support service for people who will not or cannot accept scientific evidence and reasoned reassurance.

OK you scolded me for posting although I paid 2x...seems unusual but its your rule.

The anxiety is driven because the other dr. hook said it was theoretically possible to get herpes or syphilis from a woman sucking on my breasts, therefore since I have a .3 or less cm pimple like thing about 1 inch from my nipple I wondered if thats an issue or unrelated...I have not totally lost it...and I dod think your service is very good although it should not be limited as you limit income.

Most if not all of your questions on MedHelp reinforce your own statement that you are "a worrier by nature".  You continue to ask about zero risk exposures.  Of course there is no risk from mouth-nipple contact -- just as for hand-genital contact, kissing, etc.

Here in a single brief statement is all you need to know about avoiding STDs, inlucing HIV:  STDs are transmitted ONLY by direct genital-genital, genital-anal, genital-oral contact.  The exceptions, if they exist, are vanishingly rare; neither Dr. Hook nor I have ever seen such a patient in our combined 6+ decades in the STD business.

MedHelp permits a maximum of 2 questions every 6 months on each of the professionally moderated forums, in order to prevent domination by a few users with anxiety-driven questions that have little educational value for most users.  We know nobody actually reads websites' Terms and Conditions, so it isn't surprising you aren't aware.  Still, by rights this thread could have been deleted without reply.  In any case, it will have to be your last question on this forum until at least a year from now.
