Handjob Mistake, Anxiety Takes Over
by worriedinTO, Oct 22, 2009 02:56PM
Hi there, I will explain the situation briefly.
I gave a guy a hand job and am worried about possible HIV transmissions.
He did not touch me and he did not ejaculate (in fact I was surprised at how dry his penis was, as this was my first guy-to-guy contact).
The one thing that does worry me is I have a cut on my right hand (I used my left to do the handjob) from 2 days ago. I am worried something got on my left, and I touched my right hand and possibly infected myself. I also am I afraid that I touched my own genitals with that hand or that I touched my face (as I have a habit to do that) and got something on my nose or eyes or something of that nature. I washed my hands immediately afterwards (several times) but there is so much uncertainty.
What are the chances? Should I even be worried?

Hello,
There is no risk here at all of anything. There is no uncertainty. All you did was give another bloke a handjob - no risk.
best wishes, Sean
