This forum is limited to prevention of HIV and to safe sex in general. If you believe you might have been exposed to HIV and want help to judge your risk, would like advice about HIV testing, or have questions about the effectiveness of condoms or the risks associated with specific sexual practices, this is the site for you.
IMPORTANT
No questions will be accepted on the treatment of HIV/AIDS or its complications, viral load, and similar topics. If you have questions about a specific STD other than HIV/AIDS, please visit the STD Forum. Questions that do not pertain to the above topics will be removed from the forum.
If you have not done so, please review other threads in our archives for questions similar to yours and Dr. Handsfield's replies. Questions that duplicate other frequent ones, for which abundant replies exist, and that have little educational value for other forum users, will be DELETED WITHOUT RESPONSE. YOUR PAYMENT WILL NOT BE REFUNDED. The most common examples of such questions are those about low risk exposures to HIV, such as oral sex, condom- protected intercourse hand-to-genital exposure, and nonsexual contact with possibly infected blood or body fluids as well as symptoms of early HIV infection.

Your question suggests you have read the forum and know your risks are low. I'm not sure why you think the answers to your specific questions would be different than all the others that describe identical situations.
Hand jobs dont transmit HIV. Receiving oral sex is virtually zero risk even without a condom, and condom-protected oral sex is truly zero. Protected vaginal sex with an escort is zero risk for practical purposes. You don't need HIV testing.

Thank you very much Doc...i apologize for my question and i think I am going to seek counseling for my neurotic thinking...i know you usually encourage it out of compassion over criticism...i more or less simply feel guilty over my encounters as in society they are looked at as derogatory and disgusting...once again thank you for your help
