Massage Oils and ability to kill HIV

Hi,

I have a fairly simple question.  I went for massage at a sleazy place and I am concerned about disease transmission.  I was given a fairly straight forward massage but ended it when I was offered sexual services. I paid and promptly left. no sex whatsoever at all.

Now at the time of my massage, I had several small scratches on the side of my leg, they looked dry insofar tha they were not bleeding.

I didn't look at the massueses hands prior to the massage but she said she had no cuts. I have to imagine that if she did have a cut, it must have been very small, because I saw no visible streaking of blood. If she did have a small cut and the blood mixed in the oils that she used.  How effective would the oils in themselves be in killing hiv.

Does the use of oils further neuter or destroy hiv like soap would.

thanks

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions, therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.
