HIV from massage parlour

hi.. i had been to a massage parlour and while lying down with my body down on the surface, I ejeculated on the surface of the rexin mattress. Could this mattress be already soiled similarly by the previous customer who could be HIV +ve.
With direct contact of my penis with the matress, could I have contracted HIV +ve

This does not change my opinion or advice.  In the 30 years of the known worldwide HIV/AIDS epidemic, nobody has caught the virus in this fashion.  You are not going to be the first.  Move on and forget about it.

That will be all for this thread.

Thankyou sir.
However, I would like to reconfirm.
The Head of my Penis was exposed / touched to the surface (mattress and towel), which could have had the semen of the previous person.
Do i bear the risk in such a case?
Please advice

Welcome to the forum.

Even before seeing your question, I was going to repond to the title you chose:  you can't get HIV in a massage parlor unless you have unprotected sex with someone there.  Nobody ever caught HIV from expousre to semen on a mattress or any other surface.  You are not at risk and need not worry about it.

Here is a thread that explains the scientific reasons why such exposures carry no risk.  Start reading with the follow-up discussion December 14:  http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/1119533
