M Genitalium from Handjob?

Ok, so I read that there is NO risk of an STD for a man to receive a handjob, even if vaginal fluid is used as lube.  Usually when this answer is given, they typically say no chance of an STD and mention chlamydia and gonorrhea.  What about M. Genitalium and Trichnomiasis?  

Thanks!!

STI's have evolved in a way that makes them difficult to transfer from person to person in ways other than sex (that's why it's much easier to catch a cold than it is an STI).  For men, bacteria that cause gonorrhea or NGU enter through the urethra during sex, which means you don't get infected from mutual touching or handjobs, and only rarely from oral sex.

Also, getting an STI isn't the end of the world - most cases of NGU's clear up on their own anyway without treatment.
