FROTTAGE - HIV AND HEPATITIS B RISK

Hello there! 4 weeks ago I have had erotic massage which involved some frottage (genitales rubbing) for aprox 10 sec. Please somebody assess if there is any risk for me to catch HIV or hepatitis B. There was NO PENETRATION.

Thank you!

Frottage—also known as "dry humping" or body-to-body rubbing is not a risk for HIV.

Hepatitis B & C can be spread by contact with infected body fluids such as blood, semen and vaginal fluid.


Hepatitis can spread through sexual intercourse and through other types of sexual contact that involve exposure to infected body fluids.


You can also contract other STDs, like herpes and HPV if you have bare skin-to-skin contact with your partner. (I am assuming you were both naked, but you didn't say)

You had no risk for HIV, but I would recommend you be tested for other STD's.

Thank you for your answer. Do you believe that shaving scrotum (little cuts possible) 3 hours before the frottage increases a risk of transmitting a virus? Thanks again!
NO RISK. That is not how HIV is transmitted.
I am also concerned about one thing - while rubbing against my pennis she "stuck" for a second vith her vagina but emediatly lifted it and proceeded rubbing. I am just wandering if this might resolve in greater risk for transmittion? As I said I haven't penetrated her but there might have beean a contact with vaginal inner lips. What do you think? Thanks!
NO RISK
I'm starting to worry that I might have penetrated her just with a head of the penis although I don't believe I have. Some say that the contagious fluids are deep in the vagina and there is full penetration needed for transmittion. Do you believe that is the case or can I be at risk (if I would have penetrated her even just an inch)?
