Thai Massage over small cut on ankle and leg

Thai Massage over small cut on ankle and leg

A day after I had a tha oil massage (non sexual) in Phuket Island, Thailand, I noticed a small cut on my ankle and on the top of my leg. Both about 1/2 centremeter long and even less wide. They were starting to heal but not completely. The cut was not very deep at all . If I pressed with very hard force I could draw blood on both cuts which I did, I probabably simply opened up the cut again because of this action.

My concern is, what if the thai person had open cut on her hand when massaging over my cuts? could I contracted the HIV virus this way? I did not see any blood anywhere at the time, however towels are frequenstly used during a thai oil massage and the evidence could have been wiped away without my knowledge.

At one stage I felt that the Thai person had something on her hand that was sratching me. Looking back Im wondering if it was a scab on her hand and because I could not feel it after about 10 minutues later,  I wonder if it was a scab and came off during the massage that may have reopened her wound and leaked blood.

Although this was not a known sexual parlour, I am worried that this lady may have once worked in the sex industry and was a HIV
