Brief Answer:
There is no risk of STDs with this particular physical contact

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

There is no risk of acquiring any STDs including HIV by performing a handjob. Moreover, your hands were gloved and therefore protected while performing the handjob and you sustained the cut after sometime.

Therefore, there is no risk of contamination of the wound/cut. Body rubbing is not a risk of transmission of STDs. STDs are only transmitted through unprotected sex, either vaginal, anal or oral sex. There is no need to screen for STDs / HIV.

Hope I have answered your query.
