About EBV

[gimgi]

Dear all
I have two questions about EBV.  I know it's not very proper to post it here, but I viewed the EB forum and found it's not active at all. My exposure is related to sex, and hope anyone who has a knowledge about it.
1. Can EBV transmit through 90 mins massage, without kissing and intercourse?
2. What does EBV igA negative 3 months post sexual exposure mean?
Anyone is welcome to answer. Thanks in advance.

we don't use iga testing for ebv.  it's very common and most of us have it by the time we reach 40.  we don't consider it a sexually transmitted disease. we don't call mono the kissing disease for no reason - that's the way it's most commonly transmitted it.

a therapeutic  massage is not a risk for std's.  any real massage provider properly cleans their tables, changes their sheets and washes their hands in between clients so nothing to be concerned about.

No being masterbated is not a risk.

Ok, then I ask a few std questions
Can massage transmit syphilis, hpv and herpes? No masturbation or oral issue, just hand-to-body(I mean all the body only except genital and anal areas) massage.

EBV is not a STD. Talk to your Dr.
