Brief Answer:
Regarding HIV and screening test

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and noted your concern.

Receiving a handjob is not a risk for transmission of HIV. HIV is transmitted through unprotected sex either vaginal, anal or oral sex. Did you ever engage in such a risk? The relevance of your HIV screening test 2 years back can only be assessed on the basis of your past history of sexual encounters and of what kind? A screening test is conclusive only if it is done after a 12 week window period from last risky sexual encounter( i.e with no other risky encounters in between) for it to be considered reliable.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.

Brief Answer:
No risk of HIV from skin to skin contact. Tests were reliable

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Fine. Then your tests have reliably ruled out HIV. There is no risk of HIV from skin to skin contact as involved in handjob, kissing and rubbing. However, If you still are unable to get rid of the anxiety I suggest you to take help of a psychologist.
Take care. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
