risks from a massage

i had massage twice in a massage parlor. I was wearing underwear throughout the session. Is it possible there is any chance for HIV transmission?

HIV from a massage? Do you think HIV is passed through touch?

If you were receiving a massage in a legitimate massage clinic, you are safe.

If you're going to an illegal 'massage parlor', you're doing the massage industry a disfavor, and you could contract an STD if the person from whom you are receiving a massage, or the previous person on the table, has an STD, and you have an open wound somewhere on your body.  It could be as small as a papercut, and you'd still be infected if you're visiting unsanitary places that are only using massage as a guise for other activity.
