hiv from vaginal fluid

hiv from vaginal fluid

Hi! I need to ask something.  I just went to a massage parlor and had a hand job from the masseuse.  Before she started the hand job, she touched her vagina.  I knew she was wet because I touched her vagina too.  Obviously, she would then have vaginal fluids in her hand. My question is, would I be in any danger of being infected with HIV if I had a hand job from a woman who's hand had vaginal fluid on it?

in a woman...hiv has found to be present way up in the vagina...close to the cervix.  the glans (glands) that are responsible for "lubrication" are totally different things.

Okay I'm sorry but I've been reading posts here to be better informed... I've found that Dr. HHH said...

" ...there is no way to separate cervical secretions from lubricating fluid.  Cervical secretions are produced continually by most women, and I would not assume that fluids near the vaginal opening come only from sexual lubrication; undoubtedly they usually (always?) include cervical secretions... "

I'm confused...

i stand by my comment which is fully explained earlier in that post.  the main concern is that hiv is not transmitted OUTSIDE it's host.

Bartholin's glands are what continuously moistens the vaginal not cervical fluids.

So that means concentration of HIV in fluids that are actually able to infect are only present in the cervix and not near the vaginal opening. Is that correct!?...

HIV is not transmitted by masturbation. It would matter if she had cervical fluid on her fingers. Still wouldn't be a risk.

Should have read, "wouldn't."
