Brief Answer:
There is almost no HIV risk here!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I understand you worry about contracting HIV or another sexually transmitted infection from this massage encounter. There is very little or no risk considering all the information you have provided. Whether the sheets had been washed or not poses no direct risk of transmission of any HIV infection or some other STI. Should it be possible to contract these illnesses by simple contacts like these, trust me the whole world would have been infected. There is nothing more you need to do about this at this time.
However, always remember that HIV and other STIs are real and take precautions each time you are indulging in intimate sexual encounters.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and please feel free to ask for more information and clarification if need be. Thanks for using our services.
