Worried about erotic massage encounter

Worried about erotic massage encounter

About a week ago, I received an full body massage with a handjob.  I should've known better when I entered the place, but at the time, I thought no big deal and didn't expect anything to happen.  The massage worker offered other services not typically offered by reputable massage parlors, and I respectfully declined, however I did receive a full body massage with a hand job.  I had broken skin in between my thighs becauses I am an avid bicycle rider and was chafed from recent riding.  The Massage worker gave me a deep body massage, including my knees and legs and inner thighs as well. The day after the chafing seemed to increase.  There was no sexual intercourse of any kind, but I did receive a massage and handjob.

4 days later I started having a headache, malaise, fever one night, and now I have a cough and cold.

Is there any possibility I contracted HIV from this massage, even though I had no sexual intercourse?  Has anyone (to your knowledge) ever contracted HIV from an erotic massage that included a handjob?

I realize my symptoms can be attributed to any other common illness, but I would just like to receive your opinion.

Thank you

No possibility at all, there has NEVER been a case of trasnmission that way.

Dont waste more time worried you were never at risk.

Thanks for the quick response.  

One last question, because the information on the internet is so scattered and varies from site to site.

Is HIV difficult to catch? I guess I'm more worried that because I had broken skin on my legs, that if she had a cut on her hand, there's a good possiblity she transmitted something to me?

I know, it's silly to worry, but I'm just trying to educate myself better.

There is not chance even if you were bleeding, HIV in only trasmited by  sharing needles, Unprotected penetrative sex, and from mother to child. so forget about this,

No chance of HIV or any other sexually transmitted disease from massage or handjobs you are fine maybe feeling a little guilty is all. Forget about it truthfully to answer whether HIV easy to catch it can be if you engage in risky behaviors but massage ain't one of them...........be well.
