Can You Please Advise If Such Experience May Transmit HIV ?
Question: Dr. I am worrying about a case that happen just few days I have asked for massage service. she washed my body and did soft hand job for me using lotion and soap. Then later on during the massage i was wearing my underwear and she was fully naked. I have actually sucked her chest and nipple heavily but I did not notice that if she is actually have breast feeding milk. I asked her about her actual job as she is sex worker and have seen two customers before me on the same day. Also I have noticed that she had like healed skin rash on her right shoulder when I asked she said it%E2%80%99s not an allergy but she had this since born only on this part.
1- Can you please advise if such experience may transmit HIV ?
2- does hand job considered as risky or safe sex practice?
3- can I get infected of STD via hand job it lasted for less that 3-2 mins and I asked her to stop.
4- apparently she is not married and not sure if she is actually lactate and I did not taste anything is it possible that nipple or licking her chest may transmit any STD? In particular HIV ?
5- I have a regular partner that I am trying to avoid her for a week since this happen and not sure if can get my regular life sex again, is it safe to resume my regular life with my partner ?
6- does HIV or STI usually transmitted through micro crack or damaged skins ?
7- I started at 20 days after this incident to feel headache and night sweating and I feel my lymph node will swallow and not feeling well.
I am very concerned and I wish this never happen, can not get it over.

Brief Answer:
std unlikely
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
(1) it's very unlikely if at all possible
(2) hand job is safe particularly regarding HIV
(3) with hand job herpes might be a very very minor concern
(4) breastfeeding is not advised in women infected with HIV. Despite that, you didn't see or taste anything, so the answer is still no...
(5) it should be safe, regarding this incident, provided that you didn't forget any important details
(6) most STDs require either blood-to-blood contact or mucosal exposure. Intact skin protects against them. If you can't see the 'crack' in the skin then there isn't any.
(7) you should visit your primary care physician to get an answer on that. Headache and swollen lymph nodes usually mean infection they aren't very specific symptoms since many infections present this way. Since an infection seems to be your current problem, you should indeed avoid coming into contact with other individuals - including your partner.
After answering these questions I can understand you're very anxious about this incident. Please consider that even in cases of serious and undoubted exposures the risk of transmission for most of the STDs is not very high. For HIV in particular the risk is low even for unprotected complete intercourse. Despite that, caution is advised because, even if the risk is low, transmission may occur. In your case, the risk seems to be very very low. The risk is never zero (if that's what you're asking) and nobody can really give you 100% reassurance without lying. People tend to forget certain details - they do it all the time - regarding exposure and even when they don't the perception of what happened may be misleading.
But both in medicine and in life we have to evaluate the possibilities. We can't live with the fear that this 0.01% risk of an untoward event will happen to us!
