Massage and concern of transmission of HIV

Dear Sirs,
Had a massage recently in Indonesia, a back street place, and non-sexual. But I had a large scab, a few days old, on my leg and am curious about HIV transmission as the scab was rubbed over several times with oil, I also ended up with some scratches as a result of a heavy handed massage, the scratches were indeed red.

Thanks indeed for yr answesrs.
