Contact with semen? HELP?

[markynelsonn]

So I went to a massage place to get a foot and leg massage. I saw the massage bed while there's a nicely folded towel, on top. It took around a minute or 2 before the masseur came. When I lay on my chest, he placed the towel at the back of my thigh and pressed it on me, we both noticed a portion of it was somehow wet, and a bit cold. So he got another towel and replaced it. So I asked him why it was wet, and he also didn't know, and he thought it was already used. I don't know either how long has the towel been wet..

In that massage place, they don't give warm or wet towels after the massage so there's only one thing that it could be, SEMEN, or blood?

Anyway, I immediately went home and took a shower after an hour. AFTER SHOWER, I was scratching on the part that I think touched the wet portion of the towel, I looked at it and it was RED due to the scratching but I do not know if it bled.. BUT the scary thing is I DIDNT KNOW IF THAT REDNESS was there already when it touched the towel with the wet thing.

Is there a risk of HIV if it was a semen or blood that somehow touched my scratched skin?

PS. 3 days after that night I experienced colds and cough and seems like flu, and knees were weak. It's already been 5 days, but I had just a slight fever once.

Thank you.

Nothing to think about, you've been advised multiple times that you never had an exposure.

Hello?

Hi, I'm getting paranoid as I still have high fever since 3 days ago -- up to 39.5deg celsius. It was exactly 1 week since I went to that massage place when my fever started.

Also, i read online hiv can survive for quite some time in the environment depending on temp etc.? What if the semen or blood is inside the wrap towel so it's moist there and not exposed to light. I'm overanalyzing due to my fever..

You're welcome.

[markynelsonn]

How about hep b and c? Please? People in that forum dont answer always.. :(

[markynelsonn]

Thank you. Even if the semen was pressed on the scratch? Im so paranoid..

[RainLover71]

Hiv can't survive once exposed to air and once outside the body--you had no risk.

[markynelsonn]

What do you think?

[markynelsonn]

Well the towel is still wet, it might have been fresh..

[RainLover71]

No risk because HIV can't survive on towels.
