Hand job question
Hopefully it's nothing to worry about. I hardly ever do this but I received a hand job from oriental place and she let me kiss her legs, toes but nothing else was done. Just handjob and kissing of legs and feet. I orgasm after 5 or 10 min and I left. She was wearing pants so nothing else was done and I wouldn't do anything else anyways but just worried If I can catch HIV or anything serious from what I described. Not sure if she had any cuts on her hands. I also shaved my penis area a week prior to keep it clean. So just worried if I was at risk of HIV or anything serious. Do I need testing?
Oh sorry I must have not wrote it correctly because I'm on iPod. but I was not giving the hand job she was giving me hand job to my penis. So I was curious on why is her hand to my penis safe?
Sites say oral is not safe for liability concerns. Govt can't say "never". There has been only a few cases where HIV infection occurred in the sucker but even those are not credible as the subjects wasn't really sure. Oral sex is a " theoretical" risk. If it was a real risk you would have an explosion in new HIV infections attributed to oral sex. Since there isnt data on it then it remains a theoretical risk.
Handjobs are no risk because your skin on your hand is different than say your genital skin. There are more white blood cells in your genital tissues which HIV infects. HIV cannot infect your hand, skin is tougher. In the mouth, white blood cells or "receptor cells" are deeper inside the tissues and HIV dies because it can't reach them.
Thank you for responding. I'm much relieved now. This may sound like a silly question because I don't understand the science behind HIV but how is hand jobs safe and oral not safe? What confuses me is the stupid government sites tell you something totally different as if everything is unsafe and you must get tested. Like they try and scare you into to not having any type of sex. Anyways I would appreciate if you can take the time to explain why hand jobs are no risk at all and other things are. Sorry if it's a dumb question but I was never educated on this topic and government sites don't seem to help.
