HPV through hand jib

Hello,
I received a hand job from a girl in a massage parlor 15 days ago. Must have been over in 2 mins. She massaged my back first for about 10 minutes. I have a pregnant wife. Drunk and sickened. Thought thise days were gone. After internet research, i realize my only slight chance is hpv. Spoke with an online doctor at healthcare magic. Paid for the specialist forum, dermatologist and std expert. Told me zero risk of anything unless she was touching herself. She wasn't. Anyway, feeling reassured, and hoping for final closure, went to a std specialist in HK. The top man. He told me that i was at zero risk of anything except hpv. That a masseuse in that industry would have a high chance of hpv on her hands and there is a 40 % chance even from a single exposure. However, he then told me that it is very common and people can pick up this strain naturally in public places - hand railings etc. When i questioned him on this - using info on medhelp and ask the experts - he said their study was the most recent and had the largest sample and there was a spike over the last 5 years regarding HPV. However, he also said i should put this behind me and move on. When i asked if he would guilt free sleep with hisnwife in my situation, he said absolutely. Left feeling mainly reassured but then doubts crept in again. Anyway, anxiety got the better of me and i contacted both hook and handsfield on asktheexperts. Both said although a theoretical risk exists, neither had seen a case in a combined 80 years of hpv from my exposure. Aunt Jessie swnt me a link of a recent study publishes in lancet saying hands do not pass genital hpv. However, instill remain confused. There are one or two people who claim to have contracted hpv from a hand job on this forum. Some articles state touch is possible. I am driving myself crazy. Can't believe i did this and it is ruining my life. Want to move on, but the HK doctor's 40% - Hook said this was unbelievable - haunts me still. Thoughts and advice anybody?

There is something called 'theoretical risk' which means it can't be 100 percent ruled out but does NOT happen ever in practice or real world.  This is one of those things.  Here is a thread by a MedHelp doctor who has an extremely busy doctors practice with sexually transmitted disease as his sole specialty and he says he has NEVER seen a case of what you describe. https://www.medhelp.org/posts/STDs/Yet-Another-Hand-Job-Question/show/248064

As a moderated site, the information here is accurate and I would not suspect HPV from a hand job.

Thanks GR. I accept this. Only confusion is what the HK doc said. Also an international expert but view is totally different. However no cases in 30-40 years is pretty conclusive I would think.
We can't answer for what the HK doc said, but if it were true, we'd all have HPV all the time. We don't.

Also, would like to know what is meant by skin to skin contact. Is this genital to genital rubbing or would receiot of masturbation be included here? My HK doctor definitively said that a hand job can shed as it involves friction.
