Hi there Private.
It seems safe to opine you are not in the armed forces ;-) just kiddin.
I read your description with interest. It appears that you are alluding to a visit to a '
massage parlour' & in the habit of frequenting these. It also appears that you favour oil massages.
Going by your history, you have nothing to fear assuming of course there has been no 'sexual contact' which is unclear from your history. If the mucous membranes are intact (no skin break) on both sides...donor & recepient, then you have nothing to fear.
The transfer from body fluids also varies & the highest is from blood & blood-tainted body fluids. In this respect, you seem in the clear!
There is no specific fixed
incubation period for
HIV infection & it is variable.
Elisa for HIV is a reliable test but may not pick up early infection & has to be repeated at a 6 mth interval to be safely interpreted as negative for HIV & this too by different its or different laboratories preferably.
You would be best advised to do a PCR test for viral copies (mRNA) & this can detect early infection & is more reliable. Western blot or
viral load (cd4 counts) also are more specific.
In the end, please do try & avoid risky behaviour & practice
safe sex & preferable to stick to one partner in life to avoid heartaches..prevention always better than cure!
Take care & wish you good health & a safe healthy sexual appetitie & life!
