Worried of HIV possible transmission


Dear Madame, Sir,

4-6 weeks ago I had a turkish bath and massage. after all I was masturbated by the women by her hand. After finishing the bath and massage in 3-6 hours, I got rush on legs. They were flamed folliculitis as my doctor said.

Now I am very worried that I have got a HIV.. Is that possible? Possible to have folliculitis after 2 hours of transmission of HIV? Is it possible that HIV transmit by hard massage? Or my be by a hand job? By a turkish bath they really first peel the skin and then massage.

Can folliculitis be a sign of acute hiv infection?

Please help

Hello

Is it possible to have acute hiv symptoms after some hours of infection? Or the virus frst need to multiply so much times to five possible symptoms?

No. HIV symptoms will appear at the earliest at maybe 10 plus days after an exposure. Certainly you will not experience symptoms after a few hours only.

Absolutely - no chance of HIV transmission and I have never heard of an STD transfer this way.

best wishes, Sean

Hello

You will not acquire HIV from this.

I have been to a turkish bath in Syria and the episode was a very rough massage / wash by an elderly gentleman and I agree it can be a rather savage experience.

Irrespective of that, you will not acquire HIV from a turkish bath massage and you certainly will not pick it up from a hand masturbation.

You have nothing at all to worry about.

The rash was probably caused by the vigorous massage. I remember coming out of the baths feeling as though I'd been scrubbed raw.

Best regards, sean

Dear Doctor,

I saw you were answering people just minutes ago and my question is still open. Is this because I have to post you a new question?

Or is transmission of HIV high when there is syphilis by anal, vaginal or oral sex?

I think you got my question  :-)

Here I am again doctor and sorry for disturbing you.

I did read that syphilis can be transmitted by KIN to SKIN contact.

So if you are having massage and the person who is giving a massage has a Syphilis on his or her hand and he or she is HIV+.

then there is a chance to get the syphilis. But does the HIV virus goes with the Syphilis? Which means
if an HIV+ and syphilis+ person transmits syphilis to the other by skin to skin contact, does that mean a high risk of HIV transmission (as they said the HIV transmission gets higher when there are STD's?)

Or is this a very stupid question?

Dear Mr. Cummings.

Thank you very much for your reply...

So can I say that there is 100% no HIV transmission chance? Also no STD's?
