Massage

[mark2014]

Hi. I recently had an encounter with a stranger. She used the bathroom to urinate right before the encounter. Then, she sat on me wearing underwear and gave me a back massage. When she got up, the area where she was sitting (at the top of my butt) was wet. I suspect it was from our mutual body heat making us sweat, but I suppose that there could have been some vaginal secretions if she became turned on. After that, she gave me a hand job. That was all we did.

I have several questions. What are the chances that I could have contracted herpes, HPV, or another STD from this encounter? I know several medical experts say that these are highly unlikely to transmit in this type of encounter, but how unlikely is it? And if there vaginal secretions that touched by buttocks, could that lead to transmission? If there is any chance, do I have to wait weeks for the incubation period is over to be tested or can something be done to give me piece of mind? Thanks.

There are no figures on this. There are exceptionally few cases of rectal chlamydia or gonorrhea without penetration.

Including the odds of her even having an STD, you are looking at 1 in 100s at worse.

again i appreciate your responses. just so i know how important it might be to get a swab, what are the odds that one of these were transmitted?

[mark2014]

thanks. are you an expert on this topic?

[Fleetwood20]

A week is enough for chlamydia, trich and gonorrhea.

[mark2014]

okay. how long would you wait to have the swab done?

I'd suggest that anything is close to a zero possibility. You may want to have an anal swab for the bacterial STDs for peace of mind, but I do not see it as necessary.

Your response is much appreciated. And, this holds for all other STIs?

[Fleetwood20]

That would be extremely unlikely. The secretions are most unlikely to contain the virus. Nor would they obtain good access to nerve endings without form rubbing.

Thanks again for the reply. You say, "The rubbing needs to come from the infected area (and we are making a big assumption here that she has HSV2) that is shedding at the time." So, vaginal secretions cannot enter the anus and cause a transmission/infection?  

[Fleetwood20]

None of this represents a practical risk. The rubbing needs to come from the infected area (and we are making a big assumption here that she has HSV2) that is shedding at the time. The buttocks and thighs are not a practical entry site for the virus as the skin is very thick protecting nerve endings. Compare the skin there compared to your or is for example.

[mark2014]

Thank you for your reply. But, isn't it possible that the skin to skin contact (for example with her inner thigh) when she was sitting on me was sufficient for transmission? Or, that it could have been passed from genital to hand to genital?

[Fleetwood20]

There is essentially zero chance of anything here, particularly herpes. Herpes needs skin to skin contact for any realistic chance of transmission. The virus will not be present in secretions usually and low quantities if for some reason it is.
