Dear Doctor,
I would just like to ask what is the risk of HIV infection if:
1) If the masseuse also had a cut as well.
2) A towel was used to clean my penis straight after and I'm not too sure if it was a new towel. What are my risks if the towel was used by the previous customer 30 minutes earlier as well.
My apologies but I am still worried about it.
Regards
Thanks for the reply.
I was worried because I thought that the bleeding warts make me more susceptible and at higher risk of HIV infection.

Hello,
Thank you very much for your post. I will try to answer each of your queries here below:
I would like to know what is the risk of HIV infection for me:
1) genital warts which were broken and one had a cut and was bleeding slightly (will I be affected from HIV by her finger nails, her hands had no cuts and was not bleeding)
I DO NOT BELIEVE SO. RECEIVING A HAND JOB AND A MASSAGE DOES NOT POSE ANY RISK OF HIV INFECTION EVEN IN THE PRESENCE OF A BLEEDING CUT OR AN OPEN WOUND
2) If the masseuse had serviced a customer before me, and had his semen on her hand. (am I at risk of infection from HIV from the semen on her hand especially if the customer she serviced had HIV, or would the HIV had dried up)
I DON'T THINK SO. THE WHOLE THING SEEMS UNLIKELY ANYWAY. IN THAT EVENT, THE VIRUS BECOMES UNSTABLE OUTSIDE OF THE BODY AND WOULD NOT BE INFECTIOUS.
In summary, I think that you are worrying unnecessarily. My assessment of the situation described is that there was no risk at all whatsoever.
Best wishes,
Dr José
