hand job

a little over a week ago i recieved a handjob from a prostitute.
I was pretty drunk and didn't check her hands for blood. I know everyone probably will say this is a no risk situation, but i am still worried about som things...

I checked my penis the day after and noticed something that maybe can be an possible way for some blood to enter my bloodstream (if the lady had some on her hands). something red on the backside of my penis. When i pressed some white clothing to it, I saw no blood, but the skin was not so red as it was before i pressed clothing on it. (This maybe is because it is just irritated skin?).

I just wonder if it is possible of contract HIV from this? if there were some blood present...

I have had a sore throat a coupple of days ago (just one day), and it seems like I am starting to have a cold...
I have also been feeling sick, but that maybe just be because of the anxiety?

Do i need testing? (i'm sorry for my bad english, and for repeating a question that have been answered before, but i do feel the situatuin is a little different:)

ONCE AGAIN...

DR. HANSFIELD'S REPLY TO YOU ON THE EXPERT FORUM

"You had accurate replies on the HIV community forum.  Your exposure was not only "a VERY low risk situation".  It was zero risk.  It is not possible to catch HIV by a hand job.  Your symptoms don't suggst HIV, but they are a perfect description of the physical manifestations of anxiety or other psychological stresses"

thank you very much for you'r answers. They meen a lot to me in order to move on. But to move on, i need as much reaccurance as i can get! (i might be stupid because I dont seem to be able to take the reaccurance I have gotten to be free of worrying)

The thing at the back of my penis didn't show any blood, but is very red some times, and even tho nothing (not much, if any..) blood comes out of it I think there might be a way in to the bloodstream. (it dont seems as intavt skin!) I know this sounds stupid?

I hope you can answer me again, and you should know that you are helping me very much! want you to know that I actually have seeked som mental help also, but that is not for another week. So for now all i have is this forum (that has helped me very much!, you are all great!)

FOR STARTERS...you stated that there was no open sore on your penis and blood was NOT present.

your what ifs are like me saying that i woke up sick this morning...which i did...and saying, WHAT IF some man broke into my house a couple of weeks ago and raped me and i didnt know it.

move on...

yeah, i know, but i find it very hard. As i now, almost 3 weeks after has symptomsas sore throat, white tongue (not very white tho), small rash on my knees, and a stiff neck.

if somebody could explaine to me why there is no risk if i had a cut on my penis, and the prostitute had a cut on her hand. it would help a lot!

Please don't jump on the " ANXIETY" Train cause the only person to let you of of the anxiety is you yourself. Before you know it your gonna be checking yourself downstairs 24/7 and notice this and notice that and before you know it the wall will close in on you. You are fine my friend. Stop,Look,and Listen. You are good to go in my book. Trust me I had EVERYTHING in the book and made myself so sick I ended up GIVING MY SELF THUSH I MADE MYSELF SO SICK, but guess what I am fine. Have a great night my friend.

I know that usually unprotected handjob are nothing to worry about, and that nobpdy has ever got HIV from it. But i also know there is a theoretical risk when there is blood in the picture, and if someone has a cut on their penis and the "handjob-giver" has a cut on her hand there is a risk. But if this is the case, what is the risk?

Well karl,I would certainly choose a "unprotected" handjob over "unprotected" sex any day. You are fine and have nothing to worry about. People don't run to the store to buy hand condoms thats for sure.

thank you for fast reply!

Just a quick question. If there was a blood drop that fell directly on my skin that were not 100% protected ( at least im not sure...) is there still no risk? and if it isn't.. why not?
