massage and hiv
Doctors,
Good day! I may have a silly question I recently went to have a massage at a spa. I had my own oil. I was wondering if just by chance the massage therapist used her own massage oil instead of my own oil will this have any
risks? I saw her finish use my bottle and saw the new one a brought also used but Im scared that she used what she had too. NO sex etc a legitimate massage. I had myself tested a year ago never had any adventures with others excepet with my wife. DO I need to worry? of her using her own oil if she did? oil getting into my skin etc. DO i nedd to get tested? any stds hiv? Im worried since I know I am of kind of a hypocondriac in a way thanks

Please re-read my response. Questions about the oils not "being clean" have no meaning and are TOTALLY irrelevant to the response to yoru question. I don't care if the the oil was mixed with HIV infected blood or genital secretions, there was still NO RISK from the events you describe- none at all. EWH
Thank you,
doctor is it safe to say what ever I imagined like the oil not being clean is crazy? Like the therapist putting something in the oil? I shoudnt worry right

Welcome to the Forum. HIV is a fragile virus. In fact the bacteria and viruses which cause nearly all STDs are fragile and do not live long outside of the body in any condition. Further, the chemical composition of the oils and lotions would be toxic for HIV. As a result, there is absolutely no risk of your acquiring HIV from massage oils or lotions, no matter who had used it before.
The pimple on your rear end in no way changes this assessment.
This was a no risk event. There is no need for concern or for testing. EWH

TO add I was wearing boxer briefs the whole time except when she put down
my boxers to massage my back side and I notice there was a pimple.
Im worried if she used the oil she had instead of mine
