Can An STD Be Contracted Through A Cold Sore On The Lip?

Question: Dear Dr.,
I had a protected hand job this evening from a masseuse and I know it was safe down there. however, I licked her nipple during the time and I believe it was dry, no lactating. after all, I realized that I've been having a cold sore on my lip. Am I at risk at getting any disease especially HIV and STD?

Brief Answer:
Very Unlikely to get STD
Detailed Answer:
HI
Thanks for the information.
If her nipple was dry and there was no skin lesions on it , then it is extremely unlikely for you to get HIV/STD in that manner. Your lip sore may not be related to STD .
If possible kindly upload a picture of your lip sore so that I can tell you with more surety.

Possible but less chance

HI
Yes the risk increases if you had cold sore before licking her nipple. But again if her nipple is dry and free of any skin lesions , the chances are very less.
