Brief Answer:
Negligible risk for HIV/STD.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, XXXX,
Welcome to XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query.
There is nothing to worry much.
STD (syphilis)/HIV are very rare to pass through breast milk. Repeated sucking of breast in case of a feeding child may be a problem. That too is not absolute one. Only 30-40% are likely to get this infections through breast milk from an infected person.
The commercial sex worker you met would be likely to free from HIV/Syphilis. If at all we assume she is having infection only when the viral load in case of HIV and bacteremia in case Syphilis she can transmit the infection.
So Your risk for Syphilis/ HIV is negligible with breast sucking once with an lady of unkown sero- status.

HI,
Welcome back.
Breast milk or secretions has no impact on other STDs like Gonorrhea, Warts, Herpes, Chlamydia etc.. That is why I had not mentioned those STDs.
Nothing to worry.
You are still likely to be very safe.
