Herpes From A Massage Parlor?

[adammathers]

Hi,

I went to a massage parlor yesturday, not your average massage parlor.

I went there around 6pm. Once i got there she offered to go into the jacuzzi which i did. In the jacuzzi she was just touching me and i was touching her. I did not place my fingers on her vagina at all.

Than we went on the massage table and she gave me a handjob. I DID NOT have any sexual or oral relationship with her.

2 or 3 hours later i got home and took a shower, i noticed a red spot on the head of my penis. This red spot was very sensitive when i touched it. Can herepes be transmited that fast? Should i worry about this?

This morning that same redness was still there, and it was still very sensitive when i touch it.

Other than that everything else seems alright, i do not burn when i urinate.

Can this just be a kind of bruise from the handjob? or is this a STD related thing?

Awaiting your reply

Thanks

Adam

No risk for STD whatsoever.  The S part of STD stands for penetrative sex.  With no penetration there is no risk whatsoever.  Further more STDs are infections which typically take several days to develop and never develop to the point of symptoms in just a few hours.  My guess is that this was some sort of mild trauma which took place in the context of your exposure.  It will resolve over the next few days.  There is no need for testing or concern.  EWH

You are now asking me to repeat myself a third time.  Once LAST time, you are not at risk if you do not have penetration or oral sex.  

I have not examined you so I cannot tell you how to take care of the red spot.  My guess is that if you leave it alone it will heal.

Since you cannot stop asking the same questions, I will.  this post is over.  EWH

Thank you again for your quick response.

I tend to go to these massage parlors on a weekly/monthly basis, am I at risk if I do not have any penetration or oral sex
Also what can I place on the red spot on the top of my penis head for now to help it get better, it seems like when I looked at it lately it seemed like there was very little clear liquid that was on it. From your explanation earlier I still don't understand what might of caused this?
Sorry for all the questions, your help is appreciated

No.  What you get in a jaccuzzi depends on what you do, not who you're with.  You did nothing to put yourself at risk. EWH

Hi Doctor,

Thank you Doc for the help

If you are in the jacuzzi and shes in with you can you still catch something by the water spreading it to you?.. Sometimes in this case they also tend to rub themselves on you...can you catch anything from that?
