NGU confused in handjob

Hello all. Still, i am worried. I was informed in this forum that i cannot get NGU from handjobs. However, a day after i visited a massage parlour and did mutual masturbation, i felt pain in my penis. Later on, i was diagnosed with NGU. Please help. Can my situation really cause NGU? Im also afraid of my risk of HIV. I believe there was precum in his hand and was transferred to my penis.

How were you diagnosed with NGU?

It was NOT caused by a handjob or mutual masturbation. No STD is transmitted by toughing, including HIV. I'm including several links that explain why.

NGU can be sexually transmitted, but there are lots of causes that aren't. Very simply, it's an infection in the urethra that isn't gonorrhea.


https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/438091-clinical#b5

"Commonly identified causes of NGU include the following:

    Chlamydia trachomatis (15-55% of cases)

    Ureaplasma urealyticum (40-60% of cases)

    Mycoplasma genitalium (15-20% of cases)

    Trichomonas vaginalis (< 5% of cases)


The number of fastidious organisms implicated in NGU is increasing and includes several Ureaplasma and Mycoplasma species. The causative organism cannot be identified in most patients with NGU.

Rare cases may be related to lymphogranuloma venereum, herpes simplex, syphilis, mycobacteria, or urinary tract infection with urethral stricture. Other rare but reported causes of NGU include anaerobes, adenovirus, cytomegalovirus, and streptococcus."

You can get it from oral sex, too.

Thank you so much for this response. I was diagnosed with a swab test.  I have no previous sexual activity aside from this. Also, i did not take a bath and did not wipe the semen on my penis because the towel they offered me was dirty. Could my NGU be caused by my poor hygiene? Thank you so much.
Not taking a bath after or cleaning after wouldn't cause NGU. It wouldn't prevent an infection after if you had done those things, either.

Did the person giving you the handjob use lotion or lube? It's possible that some of that entered your urethra and caused a reaction or infection.
