Hi,
I need your advise regarding my situation.
Approxiamtely 3 weeks ago i went to a massage parlour. she gave me a footjob at the end of the massage. the issue is she had very rough skin. it was either broken, an open wound, etc. i didnt see the bottom of her feet so i am not sure but she did tell me they are damaged because she has been wearing high heels too often.
i cannot remember if there was blood either on her foot.
I am pretty sure i did not have any deep wounds because i was not in pain when she was rubbing my penis. i possibily had small cuts though that i was not aware off. i cant remember if she was touching the uretha of my pension with her foot either when rubbing me.
Since the massage i have had a upset stomach. i also went overseas approx 2 weeks ago and developed a few rashes on my body which freaked me out !! could this be from stress or the new environment from being overseas?
please help me. do i have any risks? what woould be my risk if she had decent size cuts on her feet? or does it need to be bleeding non stop where there would be no way she would consider walking ? even if she was bleeding would i be protected if i didnt have any deep cuts on my penis? i understand the skin is very thin on the penis so does that make my risk greater. i assume i would know if i had a insigificant cut on my penis? does a ingrow hair on the pubic region count as A opening? could i get infected if her blood got into my uretha?
thanks for taking the time in reading this. i am so nervous as i have a wife at home who is breastfeeding my baby??
my concern is if any blood got into my uretha

Brief Answer:
The risk is very unlikely.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Welcome to HCM.
HIV is not transmitted through foot massage and it is very unlikely to get infected through the way you had mentioned so don't get stressed or anxious. It is better to get tested to relieve your anxiety or fear and test result will clear all your doubts also.
Thank You

Brief Answer:
The symptoms are non specific for HIV.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Welcome back and thanks for follow-up.
The survival of HIV virus outside the human body or in an open environment is very difficult and virus will die within few seconds only so you need not to worry much as the risk is very unlikely in your case.
Stomach upset, fungal infection and diarrhea may be due to some other reason for which consult the physician to isolate the cause and follow treatment as per advice. For any query get back to me again.

so even if her foot is rubbing against my penis and let say she is bleeding and her blood directly touches my uretha there will still be sufficient air to kill the ability for the virus to infect me?
my penis skin had no significant cut so i am simply concerned with my uretha or glands.
i also heard she would need to significantly bleeding. not just a small cut. is that true? bleeding to the point where she wouldnt be walking without getting medical attention
i assume the ulcers and potential fungus in my mouth could be due to stress?
fyi i have had extreme anxiety over this incident

Yes it can be due to stress.

Welcome back once again.
There is less likely possibility of HIV transmission through the way you had mentioned even if she is bleeding also so don't get feared or worried about. The symptoms can be due to stress so be relaxed, forget about the episode and move ahead in life.
