Dear Sirs,
I am a great fan of this forum and I find a great deal of peace and knowledge in reading some of the archives. I would be grateful if you could answer the following:
1. Armpit Licking - After a heavy drinking / smoking session (which made my tongue feel a bit sore / hurt), I licked a CSW's armpit.
2. Ear Licking - I licked her ear lobe (as far as I can remember the area below the piercing, though my paranoia is that what if I actually licked the pierced hole whilst licking the ear)
Please advise me if these carry HIV transmission risks. I have another 6 weeks to go and am contemplating quitting my job as I am so stressed and not able to function.

well i have copied teak wording to answer your question
You never had a risk of contracting HIV. HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

Teak,
Thank you. You are very kind in responding to my question so fast. Whilst I am aware of the four factors you've mentioned above, please could you explain just one thing:
Why is licking a part of the body of the other person NOT an HIV risk?
Kind Regards,
Nssn
