Can HIV transmitted from contaminated massage table?
Hi everyone, I really need help to relieve my fear and anxiety..
I went to a massage parlor (in Scotland) and lied down "naked" on the massage table. when the massage lady come into the room she appeared to panicked and told me to stand up so she put a sheet between me and the table.. then she massaged me for around 20 to 25 min. then she offered to do handjob or body to body which made me feel uncomfortable so I left.
My concerns way she reacted like that when she saw me on the table? if the massage table was contaminated from other customers who are all infected with HIV "not just one customer" . did this put me at risk for catching HIV? assume there s a cut or wound in my penis ?
when I lied down on the massage table if my penis head touched the surface and because of my weight it presses the head against the table which makes the urethra hole open, is there any chance of catching HIV from the contaminated table?
in Scotland there are people from all over the world .. so if people from west Africa went to the same massage place . does the same level of risk apply here (as HIV1) ?
what is the level of reality on HIV combo test (antigen and antibody) to detect HIV2? and what is the time frame needed to give a conclusive result?

You cannot get infected with HIV from a massage table. HIV does not survive outside the body and does not live on surfaces. Even if there was semen on the table from the previous guy,you still could not get infected from laying down on it. HIV cannot be absorbed through the skin. You have zero risk and therefore do not have any reason to get an HIV test from this event.
HIV is a fragile virus once exposed to air and quickly looses it's ability to infect.
Your post is filled with plenty of what ifs.
One is if you pressed against fluid left on the table.
It would seem that when you laid down waiting for the massage you would have felt that. Besides, reread my first sentence in my reply.
Maybe she panicked because she didn't want your naked body on their table because that is not sanitary for the next person?
Not that she was protecting you from anything.
You had no risk for HIV.
