Body to Body Massage

[Benliv]

Hi Dr

With ur gudelines i always practice safe sex outside monogamous relationship. After last test  i only limited my activity to massage and mutual masturbation only.

Yesterday i went to massage parlour. Therapist from mainland China. There are activity that i would like to ask.
1.  The therapist naked and rubbing the genital area in some part body include leg and bottom (***) considering skin intact and no bleeding there is any significant risk or not?

2 Somehow se sit on my bottom for 2 minutes while massaging my back that uncovered. Any significant risk if vaginal secretion might tears to anus and contact hiv or this is just simply does not occur like Dr Hook and Dr HHH always said the amount will be significant without penetration and no practical risk ?

3. My understanding fingering or enter hand to vagina no risk as long as no open fresh bleeding?

4. Lastly even slight amount of vaginal secretion come contact via hand to penis skin or anus stilll no practical risk because amount is not significant and expose air or environment already?

Actually seems i have read other post already. However i want to ensure my self no missunderstanding to practicing safe sex especially for number 2 which i have never done before

Thanks doc

Congratulations on the negative result.  (If it had been positive, it would not be from the non-risky events descried above.)  I agree with your GP's advice both about the test and his advice to avoid future risk.

That will end this thread.  Do your best to move on without worry.

Dear Dr

First sorry if my post irritating you due to my Anxiety.. I Decide go to professional / psychiatry (GP with advance study in mental health) than helps me a lot... Just want to tell my thanks and inform you his advice :

1. Get tested for peace of mind 8 weeks. He tells that you much more expert than him on this field and follow the instruction that justification test only peace of mind
   Result (HIV AB/AG combo Abbott ) : Negative
   Im verry happy Doc.. Thanks i have put this behind me. Sorry if im doing test for peace of mind..

2. AVOID any contact relate to sexual activity outside monogamous partner : I completely agree and think better avoid than worry (even only mutual masturbation)

Thanks Doc, i Hope you can also congratulate me on the result and not get too irritated with my anxiety...

In a previous thread, you said you understood that the professionally moderated forums permit no more thano 2 questions every 6 months-- and yet this is your 4th question since last June.  The limitation is intended to prevent domination of the forums by anxiety driven questions much like yours.

Get this straight:  HIV is transmitted by unprotected vaginal or anal sex.  Any and all other kinds of exposures can be ignored and you shouldn't need to ask about them.  What's so hard about understanding that?

The answer to all 4 of your questions is NO RISK!  You do not need testing.

There will be no follow-up comments or discussion on this thread.  If you attempt to ask follow-up questions, the entire thread will be deleted immediately.  And do not post another new question for at least a year from now. If you do, it will be deleted without reply and without refund of the posting fee.
