Are Rashes On The Hand And Arm Signs Of An STDs, Syphilis Or HIV After Mutual Masturbation And Other Sexual Activity?
Question: 4 days ago I had a massage. The situation ended up where we did a mutual masterbation. He ejaculated on my side, mainly on the bed. However, when he masterbated me he might still have had some of his sperm on his hand. About 2-3 days later, I noticed a small rash on the palm of my hand (photo enclosed). Today, on day 4, I had 3 more small rashes on my left arm. I went to urgent care, and she said it was just mosquito bugs. But she seemed really young, so I'd like a second opinion. Can you get STD's/Syphilis/HIV from non hand to penis contact or masturbation? And would I see these symptoms as fast as 3-4 days?
Brief Answer:
STD unlikely
Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir
I can certainly understand your concern
I have worked through your attached query and images in detail
This is unlikely to be an STD. Infection from semen contact to hand is unlikely.
But nevertheless, a short course of oral antibiotics like Amoxicillin will help.
Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if can prescribe these medications to improve your symptoms.
