Answered by Dr. Dr. Ivan Romich (4 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
No, there is no even theoretical possibility of infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.

No, there is no even theoretical possibility of infection. Some minor risk of transmission would be possible only if there was contact between open bleeding wound on masseur's hand and another open wound on your back. But this scenario is very rare I guess.

Wish you good health. Regards.

Just final comment to make sure you understood the situation: we were both naked, and she touched me with with her body - away from her vagina, ass, mouth - then she give BJ with her hand & breasts. So I didn't tough her vagina at all or her mouth ... No penetration or oral ....
