Is hiv a risk from regular "non sexual massage" In a panic state

[Jimmysbar]

Hello. Can you catch Hiv from a non sexual massage. I went into a fairly nice spa and had a half hour massage. I noticed the lady (who was very nice) was using a jar of cream.. not a pumop bottle. I have had anxiety issues in the past and i noticed what seemed to be an unsanitary practice.  I should have said something. What if the person who went in before me was hiv positve (i know that is a stretch, but just say he she was) if they had a scab or anything like that and the lady put her hand in the lotion and blood got into it (even a small amount), would that be able to transmit the hiv to me. I work out and do have some acne on my back that was burning just a little from the lotion. I know this sounds crazy. But it seems to make sense the more I think of it. I get tested every other checkup at my doctor just to be careful, even though i always use protection. Is the zero chance I could have caught it this way? Am I building this up? Thank you Also, are there any stories out there of people cathcing hiv from spa like settings? The person who went before me left only a few minutes (5 to 10) I know hiv will die in the air, but what about trapped in an airtight jar, I know there may be no definitive answer but what do you folks think? You are nice to help people out with worry and education

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

Teak, thankyou. But what if there was a trace of blood in the jar. Do you think that sounds like an unsanitsary practice?

Nobody in the world has ever caught HIV from any type of massage.

Have you ever been evaluated for OCD? I mention it because people with OCD often are fixated on what they believe to be nonsexual mechanisms/scenarios of transmission.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug abusers
Mother to child.
