WHY?

So is what I describing laughable? There is just so much information on the net which makes me nervous.

From what I described couldnt this constitute fluid transfer either touching a part of the body where fluid may haven transfered to by hand or having a two day old raspberry which had small scabs formed which likely had microscopic open abrasions that could have touched residual semem or fluid from a previous client?

I apologize for my ignorance. I know this is somewhat a what-if scenerio but I just want the facts in the event it actually occured.

I am not a paranoid or anxiety prone person I just think I don't have the facts. Can someone tell me why this isnt possible? Couldnt there have been a fluid transfer which would mean risk? I will not post any follow-up questions. As I see that this makes some upset. Thanks Again.

Ok, here goes, I went to a brothel last month. I performed mutual masterbation (I masterbated myself only and watched her masterbate. she didnt have any contact with me)

My worries are:

1. During masterbation I touched here stomach with my hand. I am worried that she may have touched the same area (stomach) with the hand she was masterbating with, causing a transfer of  vaginal fluid to the area and I then transfered it to my hand.

2. When masterbating my legs which had a small bit of road rash/raspberry (scabbed abound with redness, not bleeding but really red and tender with small scabs) which touched a leather-like bed for about 10 minutes during masterbation.

Worried that a previous client could have discarded a used condom with semen on the bed or there was vaginal fluid on the bed and the fluid which likely would not be absorbed into the leather-like bed could have touched my scabbed raspeberry and that could have been an infection vector.

I am really worried about this (especially the 2nd one), so your comments are really appreciated. I know it may seem silly but your feedback telling me I should be worried such as 5 percent risk etc or just being paranoid would help as this was my first sexual encounter. Im really mad and guilty about having such an experience for my first time as I wanted to wait for a relationship.

Thank you so much for the follow-up. when you say "HIV is not transmitted from enviromental surfaces and does not survive outside it's host."

I have a couple of questions, the first is "outside" the host. Does this mean outside the body? When you say environmental surfaces does not transmit HIV. It makes sense such as not getting it from tiolet seats, doorknobs, shaking hands etc.

But they say dont share razors due to transmission risk, etc. so to me environmental surfaces such as having a new 2 day old raspebbey which is scapped and possibly coming into contact with semem or fluid on a bed would pose a risk. But logic from you seems to state this is not a vector as it doesnt survive outside the host or environmental surfaces. I will not be testing for the incident I just want the facts. Can you clarify?
