Aa
risk of thai massage?
Dear Dr, can you please answer my question below:
I am in Melbourne, last saturday I went to a thai massage, this is because I feel tired and do not sleep well these days. A thai massage girl gave me a 1-hour full body massage including back, head, neck and leg, she used oil. After I went home, I feel worrying, this is because:
1. The massage shop looks not clean, and the bed, sheet, and blanket were not clean as well.
2. before the massage starts, I used their toilet and used provided paper, the toilet was not clean as well, and smells bad, the people there and other customers used the toliet as well.
3. I have some small acnes on my back, and the girl gave me massage by oil, I do not know if she had any wounds on her hands, and I do not know her status of HIV.
4. she used a towel to clean the oil on my back, the towel looks not clean as well, do not know if she used that for other customers or not.
Regarding this, is there any possibility for an HIV infection? I may be too nervous, this is because I had an horrible experience of HIV afraid two years ago, and then I become very sensitive and scared.
Can you answer my question? Thank you very much.
