Massage
I had an oil massage at an Asian place who's cleanliness was suspect to me. It was a standard oil massage, nothing sexual, I had lots of pimples, spots and red marks that blanched when pressed. If the massuse was HIV + and had a cut or blood on her hands was there any way for HIV to enter? I'm worried because I have loads of marks, pimples and these red marks that blanch when pressed. Also, 2 weeks after the incident I got bad diarreha and sore lower back that lasted most of 2 weeks.
NO,skin rashes don,t pose any risk of Hiv infection,and most cuts heal over very quickly.You never had a risk and Diver and Lizzie have already told you.
Just for my info, are there any types of skin Rashs that would pose a bigger risk of entry of HIV? More so than cuts for example?
Even with all the weird spots and stuff I have on my back, isn't that the same as cuts on my back
