Hiv risk of hand job

Hello, I need to ask about hiv risk from receiving a hand job after full body massage? The masseuse used her hands only nothing more.
I did Ag/Ab lab test at 5 weeks post the massage and it was negative, do you think I need to repeat the test or I can consider it conclusive?

It's much better to be in a long term monogamous relationship

So, we can't suggest what type of relationships people have. We only talk about HIV risk and prevention here.  Using a condom for vaginal or anal sex and not sharing IV drug needles is what people need to know for prevention.

You never had a risk for HIV.  The only risks for HIV include having unprotected vaginal or anal sex or sharing IV drug needles.  Nothing transmits during a hand job.  Air inactivates the virus.  So, you never needed to test in the first place.  No risk means that every and any test you take will be negative.  Can't get something you had nor risk of doing so, right? So, no, do not repeat the test. You don't have HIV.

Thank you Rox, the thing is I am a bit anxious and I have this wired stomach growling and gas!
So I don’t need to confirm the test at 12 weeks as you said this is not a risk?
That last question was already answered so it is time to move on from hiv fears. If you didn't have a risk you don't need to take the first test. The human body is complex and hiv is not the only thing that can cause a problem so see doc about your gas instead of wasting your time fixating on hiv.
Thank you Rox
That wasn't me who answered. Here is my answer, the first sentence in my original answer to you is 'you never had a risk for HIV". So, you did not need to test the first time and certainly don't need to test a second time. Your result is accurate and you do not have hiv.  Remember the ONLY real risks for HIV for future reference.  
Appreciate it, thank you guys for your reassurance
