Penis-vulva rubbing during body-body massage

[ChnWar]

Hello,
    
    Firstly I would like to thank you for your excellent public service in disseminating medical information.

Today I had a body-body massage wherethe masseuse at one point was rubbing the head of my penis (with foreskin rolled back) against her vagina entrance.

Also she gave me a tugjob at the end where she pulled and pushed pretty hard - had to stop her several times.

Do any of these activities warrant std tests?

Thank you,
Best,
kD

If she rubbed your penis against her briefly, I wouldn't worry at all. If it was for an extended period of time, and had friction similar to the friction you might have during actual penetrative sex, you might be able to get syphilis, herpes or HPV.

You need penetration to get gonorrhea, chlamydia, NGU, HIV, hep B, trich, and mycoplasma.

There is no risk from the tugging.

If you are concerned about anything, you can test.

Gonorrhea, chlamydia, NGU - at least 5 days post exposure

Mycoplasma genitalium - many places will only test for this if you have symptoms - usually not before 2 weeks, it varies from location to location

Syphilis - 6 weeks - you'd get a round, painless sore as early as 10 days, average is 3 weeks, can take 90 days. Syphilis is uncommon in most developed countries.

HIV - 4 weeks with a 4th gen DUO test

Hep B - if you haven't been vaccinated, 90 days

Trich - this is harder to find in men, probably won't be tested for unless you have symptoms, probably around 5 days.

There is no test for HPV in men.

Herpes - sore typically appear 2-12 days later. You can be asymptomatic. You can get a type specific IgG blood test, but note that there are a lot of false positives on the type 2 test. If you didn't have a real risk for this, consider not testing.

Thanks for your reply and detailed information.
The rubbing was pretty brief - I guess less than a couple of minutes. She had covered the tip of my penis and her entrance, with her hands as she was guiding my penis, so I couldn't see exactly what was happening.
I don't think there was any penetration at any point - there certainly wasn't any friction or wetness.

Still I should probably wait and watch for 6 weeks.

It doesn't sound like you have a lot to worry about. If you do checks for symptoms, limit that to once a day, and keep it simple - you won't need to get magnifiers, squeeze for discharge or anything. If you get symptoms, you'll notice simply by looking.

Take care, and we're here if you have any questions.
