Hello Doctor, I Went For A Massage Yesterday. I Was

Question: Hello doctor,
I went for a massage yesterday. I was wearing black trousers and t shirt. Hand job was offered but refused. She didn't even really touch my skin other than arms. However, next day i noticed a slight cut on my leg. This could have been a coincidence but has left me worried.
Am I at any risk at all? Not sure howni received this cut. Could have been in my sleep. The lady could not have contacted this cut through my jeans. But, I am still worried. If ahe scratched me and she had nicks on her fingers, could it have infected me with anything? Particularly worried about HIV.

Would a cut simply have to be far deeper?

So these were the black trousers I was wearing. This is the cut. Healing niw a day later. Would the cut have to be far deeper? Read somewhere it woukd have to be. Would trousers be thick enough? Note trousers are quite thick. Like jeans. Don't even think it is possible for her to have cut me through them. Also, saw no noticeable blood on hands or on my trousers.
Would the material simoly be too thick?
