Brief Answer:
You need not be worried.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

You would not get Herpes due to a handjob. You would not get HIV too by this mode. Since these are not applicable, the window period does not apply.

You were in the incubation period of chicken pox while the incident occurred. The incubation period is seven to 21 (usually 10 to 21) days after exposure to the herpes varicella-zoster virus to the development of the symptoms. So, the episode of rashes were therefore unrelated.

Let me know if I could help further.

Thank you sir.

Sir what about hepatitis b and c. Tested for hepatitis b 3 tines at 4 months 6months and 7 months all got negative.

I was getting abdominal pain so doctor told me to test for complete blood count and ultra sound scan.
I got high esinophilis count and hepatic fatty liver infiltration.
Doc told to do regulat excercise for fatty liver and he told due allergies there is high esinophilis count.
Am at risk. Why I got fatty liver. Is it related to hepatitis b and c. Plz tell me

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back.

Hepatitis B or C does not spread in this manner and so you need not worry. Besides, you have already tested negative. Frequent testing is meaningless.

The fatty deposition in liver is seemingly unrelated and does not imply that you have Hepatitis B or C. You need to get your blood HbA1c level as diabetes is often associated with such a findings. Also confirm if you consume alcohol.

No sir I will not take alcohol and no smoking.

Some of them told that I can get cmv and ebv virus.
Can I get it from Handjob and massage. She was fully dressed. No contact of body fluids.
Cmv and ebv cause life death?

Answered by Dr. Prof. Kunal Saha (2 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Not concerning

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back.

CMV is passed through contact of body fluids like urine, saliva, blood, tears, semen, and breast milk. If you have not been in contact with these, transmission of CMV is not applicable.
EBV spreads most commonly through bodily fluids, especially saliva. However, EBV can also spread through blood and semen during sexual contact. If you have not been in contact with these, transmission of EBV is not applicable.

So, stop worrying. I am not going into whether these viruses can cause 'life death' as it is not applicable anyway.
