Massage Scenario.

[haroon83]

Dear Experts, Much thanks for a Forum like this. It's our light at dark times. I am afraid of a scenario I've been in. I had a massage 5 months ago with the masseuse giving me a handjob about 5 minutes into the massage. The masseuse did not use any oil or gel, she used Talcum Powder on my groin area and did the massage till I climaxed and she cleaned up with tissue paper. I am afraid as I did not check her hands for cuts and I was having fungal infection at my thighs and groin area during the time of massage, does the presence of fungal infection increase std risk. I have seen a Skin Doctor/Dermatologist  the doctor told me not to worry about any STDs from my scenario. Post treatment my fungal infection has healed. Please tell me dear experts do I need testing for this scenario. Thanks in advance

No risk.  No testing required.

You are most welcome.

Below are the only viable risk in adults for HIV contraction:

1. Unprotected insertive sex - Anal or Vaginal

2. PWID - Sharing of needles.

3. Blood transfusion. (This is rare as most blood products and blood transfusion are subjected to preliminary screening.)

You have nothing to worry.
