Massage and HIV
Hi Teak or any good man over there,
Five weeks back I went to a massage parlor where the girl did massage to my upper body( I was half naked with my trousers on).I suspect the girl had some sort of open cuts probably might be bleeding though not sure. The place was pretty stink and I saw some used condoms down under the massage table. Now, fears rippled in my mind ever since, what if her any body fluid came contact with me when she was massaging with her bare hands on my back ( it was just plain massage that did not involve any blow job or intercourse). Even after the service was done, I had a glass of drinking water she served: which I was really felt scared as that might be contaminated by her body fluids inside the room where clients denied entry. Now at 4th week exactly, I developed sore throat, cold followed by cough. I observe the flum is yellow in the morning and white later. I developed acnes all over my face and faded now but whole body is itchy. Some sort of pimple like rashes on my upper limbs really scaring me. I am really scared to imagine are these acute HIV symptoms. Plz help

You never had an exposure nor did you need testing. Had you had an exposure the test you took is not approved for diagnostic use for HIV.
I have always been trying to be rationale in my thoughts in times, though not Socrates. But, things like these always steal my thoughts and totally paralyze my basic fundamental emotions or you may say they just hack my common sense. I have had got HIV PCR DNA test done exactly on 33th (just 4 days back)day which came un-detected for both HIV 1 and 2 virus. But, still my conscience was totally eclipsed which tempting me to think what if this HIV guy is so smart and could really done any damage, which I really wish should only be fiction. All these itching on my body (reddish with puss over the head) and some kind of sores, lesions in mouth and throat, just I feel like invaded.
Forgive my ignorance, but I am 27 male who going to get married very soon in couple of months and I will not have to be a trouble to my wife per se.
Trust me, there will be no further questions that would follow your responses/reasoning. I am just lost!!

Oh boy. Weird stories do comes once in a while eh?
You have absolutely nothing to worry about. Here's the basics to HIV.
1) You must have unprotected penetrative sex with an infected partner (means if you are a man, your penis in a rectum or a vaginal) or sharing needles
2) Skin is an excellent barrier against HIV
3) HIV must be transmitted inside a host. Once it hits air, it can't infect anyone.
3) Oral sex is safe sex with respect to HIV (it means you can't get HIV thorugh oral sex, so drinking water makes it even safer, if you combine it with no.3)

hiv is transmitted through...
unprotected vaginal / anal intercourse
sharing iv drug works
mother to child
CLEARLY you can see that you had no risk.
any and all "symptoms" you are trying to connect to hiv infection, are NOT hiv related.
