Can HIV transmitted from contaminated massage table bed? survival time for HIV?
Hi everyone, I need a scientific answer for my question.
I went to a massage parlor (in Scotland) and lied down "naked" on the massage bed. when the massage lady come into the room she appeared to panicked and told me to stand up so she put a sheet between me and the bed.. actually the bed appears to be very dirty when I looked clearly at it. then she massaged me for around 20 to 25 min. then she offered to do handjob or body to body which made me feel uncomfortable so I left.
My concerns way she reacted like that when she saw me on the bed?
when I lied down on the massage bed is it possible for the infected semen from the previous customers "not just one customer"to enter my body through the glans or the mucous or the urethra opening of the penis while it was pressed against the bed? assume there s a cut or wound in my penis
In Scotland there are people from all over the world .. so if people from west Africa went to the same massage place and if someone from there left some HIV2 contaminated the fluid . does the same level of risk apply here (as HIV1) ?
what is the level of reliability of HIV combo test (antigen and antibody) to detect HIV2? and what is the time frame needed to give a conclusive result?
And my last question, why is there much conflicted information about the survival time for HIV outside the body? some say it dies instantly, others says it dies within seconds, others state that it dies within minutes, some says it dies when the fluid dries completely (maybe hours) .. so what is the truth here?

1. No, you were not exposed.
2. No, HIV is not spread by touching, even with cuts or cracks on your finger.
3. No, HIV is not spread on towels or other inanimate objects.
1 through 3 are Dr Hooks commencements. #3 should end your concern.
He also answered how long hiv survives outside the body.
If Dr. Hook can't bring you the right understanding of your situation how can I as a volunteer here?
You're stressing over a no risk experience.
Respectfully, this is my last post.
