Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thank you for query. I am Dr Bharatesh D Basti answering your query.
Welcome to health care magic.
I have gone through the details.
I can make out your anxiety.
Usually STDs are not transmitted by massage except for diseases like herpes simplex(HSV).HSV transmission is higher, if there are active lesions .If she had active lesions it would not have missed by you.So unlikely for herpes. Other STDs including HIV are not transmitted by massage.
Hepatitis C too is not transmitted by massage.
Firstly she may be negative for STDs.
She would not have had active bleeding or open wound in hand .
Yes it us true.Dried blood can be infectious atleast for up to 16 hours.
She may not have dried blood in her hands or nails.
Also there needs to be a portal of entry for HCV.Skin is an effective barrier.So cannot be transmitted.
Moreover you did not have any open wound or ulcers at the time of contact.
I do not see any possibilities of transmission of stds or hepatitis C.
You can allay fears.
You can get back for any clarification.
Thank you
