Massage Parolr Exposure

[j961]

Ive read a number of the articles and archives on the site, and while a number seem close to my question I think I have a concern that hasn't been exactly addressed. I visited an erotic massage parlor, while I was intoxicated and not using the best judgement. During the course of the encounter, the following occurred and

* She masturbated me using her hands and breasts. From reading the site, no risk - Correct

* I sucked on her nipples. This and her masturbating me with her breasts and hands, from what Ive read on your site have no associated risk Correct?

* She also fingered my anus, and very aggressively at that. Initially, she spit on her finger, using the saliva as lubrication, then switching to either oil or lotion. I don't believe that I have a concern here, however, the problem is that I didnt really look closely at her hands and couldnt be sure if there was any open wound, blood vagianal fluid etc . So, Im wondering if its paranoia taking over.

* I fingered her, both vaginally and anally, the following day I noticed an abrasion on the back of my middle finger between the finger nail and top knuckle. I looked like it may have been a blister or callus with the skin pulled off or some other type of abrasion. After I noticed the abrasion, I milked and squeezed my finger and noticed that I was able to produce a drop or two of blood through the wound. I guess that this is my biggest area of concern, this and well also wondering about her fingering me. Does this description fall into the open wound category? Am I being overly concerned and paranoid? Or is my fear real?

Like most others, Im married to a woman I adore, and have children that mean the world to me. Id like nothing more than keep this to myself. But I dont want to put my wife at risk either. And as Ive had a vasectomy, condoms would be suspicion. Do you feel that there is a risk that I may have had been exposed and possibly infected with HIV or any STD for that matter? Worse yet, would I be putting my wife at risk. Is testing for HIV or anyother STD warrented?

I don't in fact see much difference between your question and others.  In the entire history of HIV/AIDS, nobody is known to have been infected by skin contact, or hand-genital (or hand-anal) exposure.  You can reason it every way you wish, with hypotheticals about virus levels, the effect of wounds, and trauma associated with such exposures--it just doesn't happen, as far as is known.  I don't recommend testing for HIV or any other STD, and do not believe you need modify your sex life with your wife.

Addendum; Within two days, of visting the massage parlor, I've developed a sore throat lasting, several days, had insomnia, and noticed sweating at night - while I've read many times that symptoms are not a good prodictor, I felt that I would mention them anyway - just in case

Thank you so much, you wouldn't believe the relief that you have provdided this morning, I posted the addendum w/o realizing that you had responsed.

Once again, thank you so very much.  I was worried about losing a relationship that means very much to me. I definately did not want to risk her health in any way

Thank you so very much
