STDs, hiv or any disease risk from Handjob?

Hi,

I recently got a handjob from massage center. The lady looked fine her hands did not have any cuts that i can see.

I did have a minor cut from before on my penis head but it wasnt bleeding as it was healing the cut was solid brown (when its healing it creats a solid brown layer, that thing).

Am I at risk of catching hiv or any STDS for which i need to be tested from this hand job.

No, you don't. Hands don't transmit STDs.

You had no risk here.

Thank you so much.

What about hpv and herpes or anything that would be due to skin to skin contact
Skin to skin contact means direct oral to genital, genital to genital or genital to anal skin, while both parties (or all parties, if there's more than 2) are unclothed, and there's some rubbing, grinding or penetration.

It doesn't mean hand to genital, or elbow to genital, or hand to chest, or anything like that. It's the mucous membranes that are thin and easy for germs to penetrate. The skin on the rest of our body is too thick for that.
So the risk of me getting anything from the ladys hand would be zero, correct? i did not see her touching her genitals before touching the penis.
Correct, there is zero risk here, even if she touched her genitals first. Hands just aren't an efficient way of transmitting STDs.

Here are some posts from our experts (when we had them) that may help -
