Massage with Handjob and Anal Fingering

[Alberthomas]

Hi Dr.,

I have been anxious after the incident that took place 1 week ago. I went to a Chinese massage parlor in Sydney. It was a body to body massage with baby oil. It first started with a back massage (15 mins), and later on the masseuse started massaging my anus (2 mins) . She then turned me over and then started massaging my penis. It was a good 10 min massage. She also inserted her finger in my anus. The movement inside was smooth as there was oil. After a couple of mins I removed her fingers from my anus. I then ejaculated on her hands. I cleaned my penis with tissue and took a shower later on.
- Before the massage I took a shower. There was hot towels used during massage.
- I am not aware if she had any cuts/sores on her finger. To what was visible I didn't see anything but can't say.
- There was a good use of baby oil.
- The hand job lasted for about 10 mins with baby oil. Anal fingering for about 2 mins. I didn't feel any pain.
- I didn't touch her vagina, just had touched her breasts during the massage. I am not aware if she would have touched her vagina during the massage. No blow job/ no kissing nothing.
My questions -
1. Am I at any risk from the Hand job with possible cuts/sores on fingers or she touching her vagina during the process ? HIV ?
2. Am I at any risk from Anal fingering with possible cuts/sores on fingers or vaginal fluids if she had touched her vagina ? I have read the rectum lining is one cell layer thick, and immune cells right above it are easy targets for HIV ? Have I put myself at risk here ? I am really tensed.

One blunder I was going to commit was during the heat of the massage, I had asked her for a blow job, to which she said NO. No blow job without condom is what she said. Does that mean she was possibly STD/ HIV free ?

I am really anxious, the guilt is strong and I feel my heart crying everyday since then. I am married and I don't want to put my family at risk. Please help Dr.

Welcome to our Forum. I'll be happy to help.  the exposure that you describe did not put you at any risk for HIV or other STDs. HIV is not transmitted through masturbation, even if in the process a person gets their partner's genital secretions on them during the process and even if the person has cuts or sores on their hands.  Still no risk.

Further, there is no risk of transmitting any STI from one person to another on someone's hands.  the microorganisms which cause these infections do not survive this way.

There is no reason for concern from the events you describe and no reason to seek testing related to it either.  I hope that this comment is helpful to you.  EWH

Hi Dr.
You were right. I had visited a doc here and he scared me with the possibility of cuts and asked me to go for the tests. Received the HIV-1 RNA qualitative  PCR results today (post 13.5 days of exposure). Not detected. Negative.
I hope I can take a deep breadth of relief now.
Thank you.

Spending money on a PCR test was a waste of time and money.  It will be negative too.  Your exposure was no risk to begin with.  There was no reason to test.  Continued testing related to the exposure you desribe is no more productive than taking your money and buring it.  EWH

Hi Dr.
Been really tough days and each minute is killing.
Received my test results on 13.5 days post exposure. Negative.
HIV I II Abs+ p.24 Ag = 0.17
Could you tell me what do I make out of these results ?
I am awaiting my PCR results.
Thank you.

No change in my opinion or recommendation. EWH

Thank you Dr.
Its been 10 days now to the incident. Just to reconfirm I do not need testing right ?
Thank you.

There is no risk from the exposure you describe.  Even if your partner had HIV, surface contamination of recent cuts would not lead to infection becauue the cuts/sores would have sealled off.  EWH

[Alberthomas]

Thank you Dr.

Any reason for no infection if there were cuts/sores on finger while anal fingering ?

Thank you.

Anal finger is a form of masturbation.  Masturbation is not risky for acquisition do HIV.  EWH

Hi Dr.,

Thank you for your very quick response. Does the reply remain same for Anal fingering ? That is what is main concern.

"Am I at any risk from Anal fingering with possible cuts/sores on fingers or vaginal fluids if she had touched her vagina ? I have read the rectum lining is one cell layer thick, and immune cells right above it are easy targets for HIV ? Have I put myself at risk here ?"

Do the rectum need to bleed for transmission or just the mucous membrane inside be exposed.

Also, how well do the virus and STD's survive in baby oil ?

Thank you once again.

Just to highlight there was no protection during fingering.
