massage anal area

i had a massage last night , he rubbed massage oil on my anus and i felt some of the massage lotion entered my anus .
1-  is there any risk of HIV,STD or hepatitis  if he had a fresh cut in his hand  and the  blood mixed with the lotion.
2- what is the possibility of hepatitis  transmission through fingering?

Welcome back to the HIV forum.  But this is the second time you have asked a question that shows you are very naive about HIV transmission mechanisms and overly fearful of HIV in non-risk situation.  (Your question 3 months ago was about HIV risks in a barber shop.)

As has been discussed many times on this forum, massage and hand-genital (or hand-anal) contact carries no risk for HIV, and minimal if any for other STDs.  There is definitely no risk for viral hepatitis, which has never been known to be transmitted by fingering.

Please educate yourself about HIV transmission risks. Sexual transmission requires insertive sex (a penis inside a vagina or rectum, or rarely a mouth) without a condom.  Otherwise there is no risk.

Finally, note MedHelp's policy that allows a maximum of 2 questions every 6 months on the professionally moderated forums.  No more before May 2010.

Theoretical risk only.  To my knowledge, no cases of either hep B or C are known to have ever been acquired by such an exposure.  You aren't likely to be the first.  Stop worrying about it.
