Massage & Symptoms

Hello

End of 2009 I want to a massage parlour in Switzerland (no intercourse, no oral - only sexual massage with oil).
I thought no risk...
However, 17 days after that event I had suddenly nausea, a little bit of diarrhea and then a flu (no fever, but running nose). After few days I had on the right upper chest like blueish and reddish spots for about 1 day (actually, was less than 24 hours). It looked like bruise...

After 23 days I made a hiv combo test (NEG) and liver blood test (high ggt (92), got (56) and gpt (52)).
Ok, i have to say that this nasuea started 3 hours after a teppanayaki grill with mussels and seafood in Shanghai (Food poisoning???).

This chest rush made me extremly nervous and so i have made another test @ 5 weeks (NEG) and I bought selftests online (4th generation) from blue medical group (USA) and made further tests after 8 and 10,5 weeks - all negative.

What do you think - are these test reliable?
Is the nausea/flu from food poisoning (high liver values)?
I am very nervous...

Thank you for this support - i t is of outstanding value.

Cheers

Good Morning,

There is no risk at all, ever of you becoming HIV positive through a massage. None.

The tests you had were /are all good and accurate, but equally they were all unnecessary as you were never exposed in the first place.

The stomach symptoms illness etc sound like food poisoning - not HIV.

The liver function changes suggest that either you drink too much alcohol or you are too heavy and have fatty deposits accumulating in your liver. Eitherway, again not related to HIV.

You didn't do anything bad - you just had a massage with a happy ending. Thats so innocent. You do not have HIV.

very best, Sean
