Some reassurance i guess

Not here for judgements just advice.
Recently holidayed in Thailand, (Samui) and under poor judgement visited two massage parlours where i received a massage of the happy nature. No oral, nothing but hand relief.
Had an anxiety attack due to possible risks of HIv infection as i am a married man. approximately 8-9 days after felt ill, upset stomach, the runs and sore throat. (other family member also had head colds at this time also)
Do i have anything to worry about here or is it guilt talking to me?
Thanks for your time

HIV is not transmitted by masturbation and you do not need testing.

The guilt is manifesting irrational thoughts in your head.You never had a risk at all and you need to forget about this situation right away.Your symptoms have nothing to do with the incident,your safe.Hiv is not transmitted via handjobs.
