Herpes

I received full body sensual massage from a person. She was wearing panties. She also massaged my genital area with her hands. In the process she may have touched my body (not penis) with her vagina with panties on. Later I saw she have some marks or bumps or pimples on the back of her forearms. So I am worried now. What are my chances of getting any STD's or herpes? Please answer. Thanks in advance.

i'd say ifyou don't notice any new rashes on your body in a week, you are in the clear.

Thank you grace. I really can't tell if she had an std or not and I don't know if she would be that responsible or not either. How early after the encounter the rashes may show up? What kind of rashes that would be? My regular skin usually have red spots and some pimples. Please tell me if I need to be looking out for anything. Thanks a lot again.

it's not likely she had a std on her arms/hands. if she had anything contagious, she should've been instructed to keep it covered while giving massages.  

you were not at risk for std's. unless you get any body rashes you can follow up  on with your provider, no need for any testing or further worrying about this.

You only get it with skin to skin contact of an infected site which is oral or genital sites.  It prefers the soft skin of the penis and vagina.  Our tough skin on other parts does not give an ease route to infect.

Thank you jelyse and Mistakeguy.

Mistakeguy you mentioned about "skin-to-skin contact" does that mean any touches? LIke in my case she surely touched me with her hands or part of the body and I remember touching her too with my hands. Should I be worried?

Please let me know. Thanks a lot in advance.

Like the previous poster said None.  Your encounter here was nothing sexual.  Herpes requires direct skin-to-skin contact.  The bumps on her arms could be anything.  I have lots of bumps on my arms.  The other STD's I am not 100% on but I can tell you that the reason we call them STD's is because the first S means Sex.  You have to have sex to get anything.  

Nothing to worry about is your bottom line.
