Hiv risk from handjob?

The other day I received a hand job at a massage place. I had an series of cuts in between my groin and thigh. The massage lady touched my cuts with her lubed up hand. My worry is that she gave a previous customer a hand job as well and that she infected my cuts with his semen or something when she touched my cuts. I suffer from OCD so I have been freaking out. Is there a risk of Hiv from this?

You have nothing to worry about. That is not how HIV is transmitted. HIV can only infect inside the body through unprotected anal or vaginal sex or by sharing IV drug needles with infected users. You can have as many handjobs as you want, cuts or no cuts on either you or her. It's not a risk for HIV.

You got all the advice you need earlier this week. hiv prevention is straightforward since there are just 3 risks, so next time you wonder if you had a risk reread the advice, determine that you didn't do any of the 3,  and move on.
