HIV from handjob

[Max112]

Hi, Two weeks ago I have been to massage parlor, the lady massaged my back with oil and gave handjob at the end of massage. I was very freaked out due to any STDs I might get infected by this incident. As soon as I got home I washed my penis with hydrogen peroxide and soapy water. 4 days after this, I developed penis head dry and chapping, and two tender sores. I visited my doctor and he ordered HIV gen 4 due test and other STD tests. Also doctor told me that the sores present are balanitis and developed due to soap or hydrogen peroxide. The blood was taken on 7th day after this incident. All my tests came out negative. My questions are 1. Is it possible to get HIV from handjob? 2. What are chances duo test might detect anti gen at week period after  incident 3. Should I repeat HIV test at 28 days or 3 months? 4. Does balanitis makes me prone to infection? I never had unprotected sexual encounter beside this ever in my life. Please help, I am freaking out by possibility of contracting HIV.

Hi,

As mentioned to you by our other members, HIV is instantly inactivated in air and a handjob (with or without cuts) is not a risk. As there's no more information you can get about your exposure, we are now closing this thread.

We wish you the best!

Only sex risks are penetrating unprotected anal or vaginal. HIV is instantly inactivated in air (which means it instantly can't infect) so can't infect outside the vagina or anus. All this HIV science is 40 years old and well proven over that time so nothing you can add to your situation will make it a risk.
Your doctor is a quack to work up your fears by giving you an HIV test. You couldn't possibly get HIV from any activity but the unprotected vaginal or anal as I mentioned above.

Any chemical washing of inactivated virus is a waste of time so you don't have to do that again.

Will this be true if lady had cuts on her hands? Does extent of cuts make any difference?

Thanks for the reply

[AnxiousNoMore]

Zero effect, otherwise everyone in America would have it because everyone has an open cut once in a while.

Thanks, should I even go for testing at 28 days or 3 months?

[AnxiousNoMore]

Neither, just reread the advice about the 40.

Thanks, Just out of curiosity, are a medical professional or consular?
