Is HIV Transmission Possible Through A Body Massage?
Dear doctor, I went to visit a massage parlour in India. My inner thighs and between hips (around anus) had rashes due to sweat and friction. The lady massaged my entire body with oil and later on massage my inner thighs ( on rashes) and between hips (on rashes) too. We did not have sex. She was fully clothed.at the end she gave me vigorous handjob by applying lots of oil. And at the end she wiped my penis wth some tissue paper. Now the reasons of my worry are: 1. What if she had cuts or blood or vaginal fluid on her hand which came into contact for longer duration with my inner thighs rashes and rashes around anus??? Those rashes were burning due to friction. Can this be the way of hiv transmission? 2. What if she had cuts on her hands, fingers and or vaginal fluid which might have come into contact with my penis during hand job for longer duration?? 3. What if the tissue which she used to wipe had semen of previous customer or blood 4. What if the towel tht I used to clean my body and penis had semen or any fluid or blood product from previous customers?? I m very nervous. What are the chances of getting hiv or any other std from the events described above ?? What if fluid on her hand got massaged-jn thru the redden,burning, possibly little bleeding skin ?? I don t know whether rashes bleeds .but they were indeed burning .... wht if fluid on her hand massaged-in my penis during the event of hand job?? I n restless. Kindly help....pls
