Blood touch on anus-HIV Risk? Pls reply..

Hi,

I had visited a massage parlour recently.. I was lying naked with my face down.. The lady massaged me using a massage oil and touched my anus at regular intervals..

I am just scared that if she had cuts on her fingers and if she was bleeding (HIV+) and the blood would have gone into my anus (i.e mucous membrance).. It is important to point out that I also have cuts on my anus due to excessive wiping.. Am I at risk of getting HIV+?

Please frankly advise me and let me know if I am required testing? Plss help as I am getting sleepless nights..

Thanks you guys..May God Bless you.

The only worry that is killing me is that what if the lady who gave me the massage had cuts on her fingers and HER own infected fresh blood would have gone immeditaely into my anus (mucous membrane) (not much exposure to the enviornment).  My anus (mucous membrane) would have come into contact with her infected blood within seconds as i said i have cuts on my anus due to excessive wiping..what are my chances then? please advise me frankly as this thought is killing me..

thanks once again for your patience..hope i have made myself clear now..may god bless you

Mitch is right, this is the scientific evidence, atmospheric oxygen inactivates HIV, that's why the virus is always transmitted via exchange of infectious body fluids INSIDE the body

I would never visit a parlour again but I am concerned about the mistake i made. I have  read on many websites that if blood of a infected person enters your mucous membrane (in my case opening of the anus), there are higher chances of getting infected. I had also mentioned in my previous message that I have cuts on my anus due to excessive wiping.. I am still not to worry? is there any scientific evidence to that?..

Your risk is non existent. HIV does not transmit this way. If you freak that much, don't pull your brief down, when in the parlor next time

You were never at risk even if she touched your anus.
