Really scared please help

Hi, I visited a massage parlor last week and I had a massage done. What concerns me is that the masseuse rubbed my butt and rubbed between my cheeks slightly touching the anus. I am not sure if she had cuts on her hands or not. Am I at risk of hiv. Please assist I am really worried.
I had a small sore on my butt but it was not bleeding at all.

Please help I am really worried.

As an adult, the only risks for HIV are:
1) having unprotected, penetrative vaginal or anal sex, or
2) sharing IV drug needles with other IV drug users.

If you do not do either of those things, you will NEVER have to worry about HIV.

There is ZERO chance you got HIV from this event, and there is nothing you can add to this story that would make it a risk for HIV.

Our member has accurately stated how HIV is transmitted and that what you describe is not a risk.  Touching with or without a cut is not a risk for HIV transmission.  This should fully answer your question.  We wish you the best of health and are closing this discussion.

Curfew..

Was just dwelling over this issue once again... is there any possibility if the masseuse has a cut on her finger and she touched my anus not to insert it but simply touch... would it be a risk of HIV
Please advise
