Hard Massage HIV RISK

please help me in assessing my risk with HIV.I had a massage last month at a chinese massage parlour.I was lying naked on the bed and lady massager was first walking all over my back and my buttocks.Next she gave a hard body massage and some times touched my anus and my genitals.I am worried about possible transmission from the pimples and cuts that I have on my body during the hard massage that would cause the transmission from her just in case she had some bleeding which got mixed with my blood from my cuts/pimples.

How risky is it if some one's infected blood comes in contact with open cuts/wounds etc..

Can HIV be transmitted thru massage oil/lotion used?

Also how risky is it get a handjob with cuts/blood/infected fluids on her hands?

I have got ELISA HIV (I and II negative) at end of 6 weeks with negative results,Do I need any further testing.

Try and relax, it may take some time for it to sink in that you are ok, but you will get over the OCD!

Yes you should move on, you had no risk in the first place, you tested conclusively negative, which is not a surprise due to the no risk situation, if you can't accept your no risk situation you may need to seek counselling, avoid massage parlours, even though what you have done in there is safe, if your prone to anxiety you will just end up back here after your next visit

Any guidance will be really appreciated.
