Can HIV Be Contracted Through Non-penetrative Sexual Activity?

default
Posted on Wed, 12 Aug 2015
Question: good morning,

About 4 weeks ago after fight with my wife of 15 year, I went to a massage parlour and ended up getting a hand job. there was no oral/vaginal/anal sex and and while she was nude, I don't believe there was any transmission of bodily fluids. I have been overwhelmed with guilt and anxiety ever since.
While I don't suspect I contracted anything, it have been inspecting and likely aggravating my penis countless times a day. I feel like there is wet/cool sensation but there is has been no discharge, no noticeable spots. the ip seems a tad red, but it may be more a matter of my incessant manipulations.

I wowed I would never do this again, and my wife and I do have what constitutes a good marriage. I made stupid decision and have been worried sick ever since.
thanks

I posted the other day as fight with a girlfriend out of sheer embarrassment. It was with my wife and I can tell you I feel just sick by it all.

Brief answer....there is absolutely nothing to worry.
Detailed answer...
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
I have read your history very carefully and feel that there is nothing to worry about any sexually transmitted disease,since there has been no exchange of body fluid.
There has been no sexual penetration.It is just a handjob.
As far as little redness is concerned,you are right that it is because of repeated manipulations.
You yourself has very rightly said that you are being driven now by your guilt and anxiety.
This is very much understandable and expected from a honest and a family man,however medically speaking,no such danger exists.
Just relax and the best part is that you have vowed never to do it again.
Enjoy your life with your wife.
No need for any investigation or medication.
Revert to me if there is something else to ask.
Best of luck
Thanks

what would explain the cold/wet sensation on the tip of my penis then? Just aggressive manipulation?

Hello,
Just nothing.
Your heightened anxiety is leading to all these sensations.
Just relax and forget it.
