Hello
After reading you query I want to tell you following things :
But read this carefully and you will get the answer.
Although HIV can be isolated typically in low titers from saliva of a small proportion of infected individuals there is no convincing evidence that saliva can transmit HIV infection .
Saliva contains endogenous antiviral factors.
I mentioned , this in detail so that you can understand that saliva ( in your case were also containing antiviral factors , so ,if any infection saliva can not transmit in you ).
Although virus can be identified , if not isolated , from any body fluid , there is NO EVIDENCE that HIV transmission can occur as a result of exposure to tears , sweats , breast sucking and urine .
She was HIV positive but you can not get any HIV infection by mere sucking of breast that too only for 5 seconds .
But you are in so STRESS , so I recommend you get in P 24 rapid NUCLEIC ACID AMPLIFICATION test ( pcr, rna ) for HIV confirmation.
Antibodies to HIV begin to appear within 2 weeks of primary infection ( contract ).
Hope this will be useful for you.

Hello
Assuming that only foreplay and sucking of her breast .
The girl was detected as POSITIVE HIV case.
Saliva contains ANTIVIRAL factors;among these factors, HIV-specific immunoglobulins of Ig A, Ig G and Ig M isotypes are detected readily in the salivary secretions of HIV infected individuals ( as you sucked her breast and you were not positive at that time ( even if ) your saliva were full of antiviral factors ) so there is no chance of getting HIV by you.
Although virus can be identified , if not isolated , from virtually any body fluid , there is NO EVIDENCE that HIV transmission can occur as a result of exposure to tears, sweats , breast fluid or urine.
For both type of exposure , you are free from HIV infection.
Antibodies to HIV begin to appear within 2 weeks of primary contract .
You are in so high stress , so get in rapid NUCLEIC ACID AMPLIFICATION test ( P 24 pcr rna ) for HIV confirmation.
Hope this will help you.
Elisa test is also confirmatory test after 3 to 6 months period .
