Can I get an STD from a handjob if the woman put saliva on her palm?
Hello Doctor,
I am 24. About a week ago, I picked up a woman in my car. She gave me a handjob and put just enough saliva on her palm for some lubrication--not swimming, but just enough. I came in her hand, dropped her off, and washed my testicles and penis with soap and water in a Walgreens bathroom about 5 minutes later. I don't know if she was crazy, homeless, a prostitute (she asked for money but I said no and she did it anyway)---but she looked crazy and dirty and her hand might have had dirt or sand on it. In the bathroom, I noticed rough red marks near and just under the head of my penis, but I think it was from chafing of the handjob (like rugburn) and they have since disappeared. I was very nervous and urinated in that bathroom and it hurt a little when I peed. This pain has dissipated since that morning of the incident. My penis has not changed in any noticeable way since before the handjob. I have no new marks or pains.
Is it possible that I have contracted an STD?
Thank you for your time and help!

1) I wasn't sure if there were any disreputable labs or types of labs. There was an incident in south Florida a few years back where War veterans got HIV at a VA hospital because the nurse re-used needles and just used sterilizer to clean them, rather than throwing them away.
2) I am not refuting what you said, I just ask because what if she had cold sores in her mouth? Also, I heard even genital contact with the mouth can transmit HPV. I just don't know about mouth-to hand-to genitals.
Thanks, buddy.

Dear Vance2335,
Thank for getting back to me so quickly. I called my doctor's office but only spoke to the receptionist. She said I was at risk and should come in for a consultation and then get lab testing. 2 things:
1) Do you know if blood testing labs are unsafe?
2) Could you elaborate on why I am not at risk for an STD, just to put my mind at ease?
Thank you for your time.

Herpes spreads by oral, vaginal and anal sex.
Herpes sores blister, then burst, scab and heal.
STIs are the most common cause of genital sores.
Millions of people are diagnosed with STDs in the U.S. each year.
STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.
2) Then she had cold sores on/in her mouth. Meaningless to the hand. Yes mouth to gentials...direct contact with the virus. Not indirect contact. Saliva is not infectious...if it was that means a simple kiss could pass a STD...which it can't. HSV-1 orally is not considered a STD.
