Is There Risk Of HIV In Exposure?
Question: I had erotic body massage 4 months ago. I was nude during whole massage while female Masseuse was wearing underwear all the time. I have ejaculated 2 times with handjob by masseuse and no penetration happened as she was in undergarment all the time.
She kissed on my body on various parts but not penis and I have also kissed several times on her body but there was no contact of personal parts of both.
After a week of having massage, I was feeling fatigue and had chills for 2 days but no fever or any other symptoms. That time also I started panicked but after 2 days I was fine and anxiety also went away
Now after period of 4 months again all of sudden again I am felling anxious of having HIV though I do not have any symptoms at all.
I have an anxiety and insomnia problem since last 4 years but was doing well before this episode. Now again new thoughts have panicked me and once again feeling low and anxious. Plz help

Brief Answer:
There is no risk of HIV in your exposure.
Detailed Answer:
Dear,
You had erotic massage, handjob and kissing but no penetrative sex than you are not at risk and you need not to worry. Don't get anxious or panicked of having HIV because kissing or handjob are no risk activities for HIV. As the exposure was before 4 months, you can go for 4th generation HIV Duos test for your mental satisfaction and as the window period for HIV also varies from 15 days to 3 months, the test will give accurate result.
For anxiety and insomnia, I advice to consult some psychiatrist and consider regular counseling sessions. If any other doubt is there, feel free to ask me any time and I am here to help you out always. Just calm down, forget the episode and live your life normally without having fear of HIV.
Thank You

Thank you Doc for your reply.
I am afraid to go for test as i am all the time thinking negative about it and if test result come positive. This is always in my mind and which is that stopping me to go for testing.
These thoughts are in my mind since last 3 weeks and I am not able to sleep and also eat properly because of these negative thoughts.
In between my wife and my son also had respiratory infections which was cured with regular medicines and now both are fine but somehow i am feeling guilty that it could be because of me. Though as mentioned above I only had 2 days fatigue after a week of massage and nothing else. Then after i don't have any health issue at all.
My anxiety is at worst this moment and i am all the time thinking of these issues only and not able to concentrate in my work and regular activities.
Is it ok if i don't take any test and assume that i will not have HIV?
Is there any other way by which i can stop thinking on this matter as i am fed up of it completely.
Plz help and guide

Brief Answer:
The possibility of positive result in your exposure is extremely unlikely.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Welcome back and thanks for follow-up.
The possibility of result coming positive in the exposure you had mentioned is extremely unlikely and the negative result itself will be really help you to come out from the anxiety or negative thoughts. The best possible solution for coming out of this situation is to get tested.
The symptoms you or your family members have may be due to common viral illness so don't think excessively about HIV and don't correlate these symptoms with HIV. Consider regular counseling sessions for anxiety, stress or restlessness. For any further help feel free to contact me any time.

Thanks doctor for your prompt reply.
I agree with you that negative test result will make me fine and happy and i will come back to normal life as soon i see negative test result.
Again i want to mention my exposure in little detail:
I had 2 times handjob and there was body to body rubbing but if i am sure she was wearing underwear all the time. She only removed underwear while we standing under shower for body cleaning after each handjob done
So we had body to body rubbing, kissing on various parts of body but not on genital organs. I am sure our genital organs mostly not contacted any point of time. I have kissed mostly on her breasts, nipple and other body parts but not on genital organ. I am not sure that she had any cut on her body or in hand while she was giving me handjob. There was dark in the room so i dont remember.
I have earlier also visited erotic massage parlour but i dont know somehow this time it has panicked me a lot
since last 3 weeks i am thinking to go for testing but not able to go as i dont have courage to go for testing and now my insomnia problem is worst and also i have lost interest on food as i dont want to eat food and also want to do any other productive work as i am all the time having guilt and feeling my life is over now.
Can i be 100% sure that if i go for HIV test, it would come negative?? Is anyone became HIV positive with such exposures which i mentioned above?

Brief Answer:
The chances of negative result are very high likely.
Detailed Answer:
Dear ,
The only thing that can relieve your anxiety or insomnia is testing for HIV and the chances of getting negative result in your exposure are very high likely. Further, I have never seen such patient who became HIV positive with such exposure so don't get worried or tensed, try to forget the episode and move on in life happily.
Thank You

I don’t understand as i am also sure that my result will be negative only but still i am not able to go for testing and with the same time my anxiety and sleep problems are getting worst since all the time negative thoughts are running in my mind.

So is it ok if i dont go for test and assume that i dont have HIV and try to move on. It is always in my mind that 99% it will be negative but if 1% chance is there and if it comes positive then what will happen to me and my life will be finished. These are the extreme thoughts are going on in my mind always. So in a way it is difficult for me to move on but i can try to overcome this matter and if you say that i dont have to go for test and i can be assured that i dont have HIV and i m fine.
As you mentioned yes you are right, i might have to seek the help of Doctor to over come this issue.
Is it Ok if i consult Psychologist instead of Psychiatrist? Since Psychiatrist will immediately start with some medicines which i dont want to take instead i need some counselling which can help me to slowly overcome from this issue.
Plz suggest.
