Genital rubbing HIV
Hi, I am man that had a massage with genital rubbing and am worried about HIV. The genital rubbing was about 1 minute (no lube) then she used her hand to finish. 3 days after I had burning in the tip of my urethra so I went to the doctor. Dr gave me a shot and prescription antibiotics for gonorrhea and chlamydia. The burning was gone after 4 days so the antibiotics seemed to work. Dr said to get HIV test in 2 months.
My concern is that I did get a STD (burning) so if massage lady has HIV with high viral load is it likely that I got HIV too?
Other concern is that I got a cold 7 days after. Sore throat and congestion and I couldn't get out of bed for 3 days without feeling heavy malaise.

You can not get HIV from what you describe. The only ways adults get HIV is from having unprotected vaginal or anal intercourse or sharing IV drug needles. Touching, rubbing, etc. is not a means for the virus to transmit. So no worries, no risk.

Genital rubbing may have been interpreted wrong. No penetration but significant vagina on penis rubbing, unprotected. Please let me know HIV risk assuming she has HIV. Thanks.
I have no idea what you mean by "interpreted wrong", but genital rubbing is not intercourse penetration so reread about "only' and apply strict interpretation of Guitar's words. The massage lady knows there was no HIV risk - it is unfortunate that your doctor doesn't and has worried you needlessly.
You had no HIV risk and it doesn't matter if she was positive so a test would be a waste of time.
HIV is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. It doesn't matter if you and they were actively bleeding or had cuts at the time either because the HIV is effectively dead. If she was positive then you kissed dead virus, and dead is final as you know.
Only adult risks are the following:
1. unprotected penetrating vaginal
2. unprotected penetrating anal sex
3. sharing needles that you inject with. Knowing these 3 are all you need to know to protect yourself against HIV. Your situation is a long way from any of these 3.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns, etc the air or the saliva does not allow inactivated virus to infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established so there is no detail that you can add that will make any of your encounter a risk for HIV. No one in 40 years of HIV history got HIV from the situation you are concerned about so it is unlikely that it will happen in the next 40 of your lifetime either.
You interact with others who cough on your lips and door knobs, so colds are to be expected at any time.

Ignore this part because it is a bunch of typos"If she was positive then you kissed dead virus, and dead is final as you know. "
