Risk of HIV

Hello,

I am having a cut (wound) in my armpit and taking antibotics now. Before the wound (one month before) went to massage parlour. No sex (No anal, no vaginal, no oral) just hugging, massage and happy ending with gloves. Therapist was in panty and bra. I was in my panty. After wound in armpit, I went to another spa No sex (No anal, no vaginal, no oral) just hugging, massage and happy ending with gloves. Therapist was in panty and bra. I was in my panty. Just curious to ask whether i need to take HIV testing? As the wound in the armpit is healing slowing, thopught of checking with you guys whether i need to take HIV test?

No, you absolutely can't get HIV through a small wound.  HIV does not transmit by getting blood or other bodily fluid on small cuts and scrapes that do not require EMERGENCY medical attention.  If your armpit wound did not require a visit to the hospital, you were never at risk for HIV.

The only risks for HIV in adults are:
1) Having unprotected anal or vaginal sex, or
2) sharing intravenous needles with IV drug users.

If you don't do either of those activities with someone whose HIV status is unknown to you, or who is HIV+, you will NEVER have to worry about HIV.

Your reply reduced my anxiety. The medical emergency means a huge cut that requires switches right.  A deep penetration is need to transmit. My cut is in arm and even when I hug it comes surface to surface right and comes in contact with air. Am I right?

No penetrative sex happened.

A medical emergency means that you would be in the HOSPITAL, trying to stay alive - not in a massage parlor.
