Is HIV Transmission Possible After Getting A Massage Done?

default
Posted on Tue, 16 Sep 2014
Question: Hi i have been very worried due to one incident that happened recently. I went to masseuse for the first time and i got a hand job. I am not sure if she has touched the top of my penis. Maybe she has. I am not sure whether she has hiv. So i just wanted to know will this act be a cause for me to get hiv? I would need a confirmed answer. If you are not sure please redirect me to someone who can tell me for sure. Please respond.

Brief Answer:
no need for test

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Since there are no chances of transfer of hiv from that act so no need for test.

You can be sure you are not infected with hiv. But if you have little doubt also in your mind inspite of doctor advice then I suggest you to get test done. Just for your confirmation and also to remove your stress. Otherwise not needed.

Hope I have answered your query . If any further queries are there I would love to help.

Thanks a lot for your response. However i was just worried becuase i was not sure if her hands were bleeding or had wounds and i am not so sure if she touched the top of my penis and if the blood got in my urethra. So i was just worried about this. Would this kind of situation get me infectef wit hiv?

Brief Answer:
less chances

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

If you have any doubt that she had active bleeding from her hand then there is less but some chances are there of transfer.

But I don't think she had any bleeding cause if she had some blood on hand it should be there though little on your penis. When you immediately saw it was there any blood on penis?

Old cuts without active bleeding unlikely to transfer infection.

Its better you get tested just to remove your anxiety. Anyhow there are no risk in doing the test.

Hope I have answered your query . If any further queries are there I would love to help.
