Brief Answer:
Unlikely.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney.
I understand your concern.
This is very very unlikely to contract a sexually transmitted diseases through a simple massage.
Only remote possibility is if a person giving you massage is carrying a disease and is carrying a cut on her hand and you have a cut on your penis.
Actually this is just hypothetical.
But this is more about HIV. You can contract infections like warts through skin contact.
But this is very unlikely to cause you sexually transmitted disease like HIV.
If you have any further query please ask me.

Hi,

Basically she used her body to massage me, I had no cuts on my penis and I could not see any cuts on hers. Her vagina may have brushed my penis but 100% no insertion. Is there any theoretical risk of contracting hep b or c do you think?

Thanks

Hi,

I am just concerned a little as I'm experiencing some mild nausea however this is probably linked to my anxiety.

I wish I hadn't visited now, I just wanted to have a massage with a bit of fun without (what I thought) was zero risk of sti's do to no oral and no penetration!

Thanks

Detail Follows.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
If you had rubbing massage with genitals then it's obvious that secretions would have followed and yes, definitely there is risk of transmission of hepatitis b and c through secretions.
If you have any further query please ask me.

Hi,

No rubbing of genitals to genitals. Just her body over mine plus hand relief with massage oils used. Slim risk/no risk of hep b/hep c?

Thanks

Brief Answer:
Carries some risk

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
If there is no body fluid contact then there is no risk of transmission of hepatitis b or c. But if body fluid contact any how is there, there is definitely some risk if the person is a carrier of that infection.
If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
