STI from Erotic Massage

[Zarknessis]

Hello, I recently went to an erotic massage parlour because I feel it’s much safer than intercourse or oral from a sex worker. However, to my dismay, in the middle of the session, the woman touched and played with herself a bit and then went back to stroking my penis with the same hand. I’ve read many posts  that STI’s can be possible to transmit this way. Some posts say it’s possible, some say it’s theoretically. There doesn’t seem to be a full consensus on this topic. Has anyone actually ever received an STI from such an encounter? Should I get tested for anything? Thank you.

This is not a risk for an std. Hand jobs (her touching you) even with vaginal fluid on her hands is not a risk for an std.

Thanks for the response. Would this be the cases even for Trichomoniasis? I’ve read some articles that Trichomoniasis can be passed via damp towels, toilet seats and even swimming pools. If it can transmit in those environments, would vaginal fluid not pose a risk?

No, it's not a risk for trich.

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