Posted on Fri, 1 Jul 2016
Question: Hello doctor

4 months back visited massage parlour. After a body massage she did hand job. No other sexual activity. She was fully dressed. No penetration. Only body massage and hand job till I ejaculate. Am worried abt HIV and herpes. I got tested for herpes vdrl and HIV all got negative.
1. If she is infected what are the chances of getting to me
2. Further testing is needed.
3. Am getting shame on me. Sometimes I will to commit suicide because of this guilt. Plz help me doctor.

Brief Answer:
Your risk for HIV /STD is almost nil

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Thanks for posting your query.
There is nothing to get ashamed. Take it is as an experience.
Both body massage and hand job have no risk for HIV /STD. Even if that girl is a HIV positive individual, chances of getting infection is almost nil.
Regarding the reliability of your test reports depends upon the time (how long after the exposure) of the tests.
For these activities you need no further test.

Brief Answer:
No test is indicated for you.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
The symptoms described by you all, can occur to anybody at anytime and in no way they are specific to HIV /STD. Only with a positive blood test one can be labeled as a HIV /STD positive individual. But your activities have no chance to transmit HIV /STD. No test is not necessary for you. All your symptoms are due to anxiety.

Brief Answer:
No HIV transmission risk through massage or hand job

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
Nobody got HIV through a massage or hand job so far. Your symptoms are due to your fear for HIV. If you can not overcome by yourself, consult a psychiatrist and feel better.
