HIV and nipple bite
Can you please let me know if nipple suck/bite from male to female is risky. The bite/suck on the nipple was so rough that it broke skin, and left a tiny scratch that may have bled. Let's assume the male was hiv+, what are the chances of HIV transmission. Let say he had blood in his saliva.

No risk scenario. Saliva has protein that inhibits the virus. Hence, if there was blood and saliva together, the virus would have been rendered inactive.
There's been not even a single case of HIV contraction in this fashion, no scope of transmission, no testing warranted.

mike_no has given you a very accurate assessment of your risk, which is zero.
Are you sure? According to this report, it says there is risk, and mentions people getting bit and acquiring HIV.

Sorry to disappoint you but you got wrong information from that other website. The advice you received here is correct. You should stop worrying and move on with your life.
This answers all of your HIV questions, and if you can think of any more just reread about the 3. You had zero risk therefore testing is irrelevant to your situation because you had zero risk. HIV is a fragile virus, which is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. It doesn't matter if you and they were actively bleeding or had cuts at the time either because the HIV is effectively dead.
Only 3 adult risks are the following:
1. unprotected penetrating vaginal with a penis
2. unprotected penetrating anal sex with a penis
3. sharing needles that you inject with.
The only way to get HIV is if you did one of the 3. The situation you describe is a long way from any of these 3.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns, etc the air or the saliva does not allow inactivated virus to infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. Doctors have calculated the risk from what you describe to be less than that of being hit by a meteor, therefore no one will get HIV from what you did in the next 40 years of your life either. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established, so no detail that you can add to your encounter will change it from zero risk. The first step to peace is to stop googling for death cold turkey.
