What Are The Chances Of STD Transmission Through Kissing?

default
Posted on Mon, 22 Dec 2014
Question: Ok, very simple. I think I am very safe but want to be certain so I don't pass anything to my partner.
A stripper with no sores kissed me for less than 2 seconds lip to lip no tongue.
She also sucked and bit lightly on my nipples.
I am a worrier by nature and just want another opinion.
Any probability of STD's? And, if so, how likely and which ones?? Or is it ok?
