So, Dude, are you going to go through life attributing every glitch in your health to a semi-sexual event that carried no infection risk? Your cold today, your heart attack at age 60?
Neither HIV nor any other STD causes "congested head, blocked nose, yellow phlegm". No matter what symptoms you may develop in the future, they have nothing to do with the events described.
Move on. Thread over.
Hello,
I hate to drag this up, but 16 days after this (on Monday) I started to come down with a bad head cold, including a sore throat on Monday and since then congested head, blocked nose, yellow phlegm and the general unwell feeling of having a cold. Would this be a worry?
NB it is coming into winter here now.
These symptoms don't seem abnormal. Your anxieties are making you notice normal body sensations and appearances that have nothing to do with your erotic massage. Stop looking so closely. It is simply impossible you were infected with any STD. Believe it and move on.
That's all for this thread.
Also re: my comment, they began to feel slightly tingly pretty much straight after. The skin redness is the entire sack, nowhere else would this be worth worrying about or emotion related?
My apologies to follow up on this, I am sure you will appreciate why.
The incident is less than 24 hours ago. My testicles sack appears to be quite red now. Should I be concerned?
Already answered; please re-read my reply above. No penetration = no risk.
Thanks doctor.
While the worker was rubbing her body against mind which brought her groin area in the vicinity of mine, I did put my hand down there to top my penis head from touching her body.
While rubbing, if her vaginal area was in touch with my testicles, are your thoughts the same?
Welcome to the forum and thanks for your question.
You had accurate replies on the HIV community forum; and although there haven't yet been any responses on the STD community forum, they will be the same. This was o superficial a contact to allow transmission of HIV or any other STD, including herpes. The causative viruses and bacteria evolved to require much more intimate contact for transmission; infection requires exposure to large amounts of them, and they have to be inoculated deep inside the body, or with vigorous rubbing of infected skin or membranes. The whole reasons these bugs are transmitted almost exclusively by sex is that they cannot be transmitted by touching, kissing, sneezing, or superficial exposures of the kind that can transmit cold viruses, staph, pneumonia, influenza, tuberculosis, etc.
So you need not be at all worried about HIV or any STD from this event. You do not need testing, and if this is your only potential risky exposure, and if you have aregular partner, you can (and should) continue unprotected sex with her or him.

Also both before and after this both the worker and I (separately) showered.
