is there way a sti can get introduced to your body throwgh the nipple?
Hi Kaylee204
It is possible if someone had a syphilis sore or herpes sore on their mouth and sucked your nipples that both of these could be transmitted this way, but the risk is very very low.
I have never seen a case of this happening or heard of someone getting it this way.
There has been some documented cases of herpes simplex virus infections of the breast in scientific books but these are very rare cases.
On any part of the body skin offers great protection. If skin is broken, damaged or irritated just be careful to avoid coming in contact with any potentially infectious fluids. This would be the same if you had a nipple piercing and it was sore/irritated.
