Hand Job risk

Dear Sir,

I am from Mumbai (India). This question is with regards to the risk involved in getting a hand job and hiv symptoms.

I had been to a local massage parlour on 3rd Feb, where the lady applied oil on the penis and did a hand job. There was no other sexual involvement (either oral or penetrative) except that I did touch her bear breasts. There was no visible cut, wound or blood on the lady's hand although I did not check her hands thoroughly. This was my first time involvment (outside marriage) in such an activity. Now exactly after 2 weeks I am caught with a mild soar throat (family physician says it is a viral pharyngitis) which is persisting for more than 3 weeks inspite of two antibiotic courses (Azipar - Erythromycin, and Droxyl Clav). I do not have any other symptoms such as rashes or fever or headache. I have lost a few pounds though and I think that could be because I am currently on prozac (60 mg daily) which my doctor has prescribed for anxiety. Below are a few questions I would like to get clarified -

1. Although I have read that hand job is a low risk activity, does the above mentioned symptoms indicate HIV?
2. Is it possible to acquire HIV if the oil applied on the organ was recently used for the previous customer as well?
3. As I am recently married and planning for a family, is it required for me to get tested for HIV?
4. Has there been any incident of HIV reported from an Hand job?


I am really worried. Please advise.

Thanks in advance.

There is no such thing as a "hand job risk" it is not possible to transmit HIV that way PERIOD

by the way your real issues are anxiety and guilt so take care of those issues and your symptoms will disappear

Forgot to mention that I also had another handjob from the same parlour on 23rd Feb (i.e., 3 weeks after the first one). This time she massaged my body with powder (probably face powder) and gave a hand job with her bear hands. Does this still not pose any risk?

Thanks for replying.

And this is the first time in my life that the soar throat is persisting for more than 3 weeks.

As Chris said....You're all good

1) No. GENERALLY ARS symptoms would not last for 3 weeks.

2) No. HIV dies very quickly outside the body.  Within seconds

3) No, but I think it's important everybody get tested at least once.  More if you have multiple partners.

4) Nope

Guilt and anxiety NOT A HIV RISK (No Chance you would have better luck driving your newly won Ferrari to Carmen Electras house for a orgy)

It wouldn't hurt for you to listen to the advise that you are giving out. You don't have HIV either. So you sound move yourself over to the Anxiety Forum.
