Std/ HIV potential exposure
Dear Doctor,
I am very worried I may have contracted an STD/ HIV infection (chlamydia, herpes, HPV based on the following;
Last week I visited a massage parlour and at the end of the massage I received masturbation from the masseuse. I understand through reading previous posts that a hand to genital contact is very low risk for std/ HIV infection however I am worried as the masseuse spat saliva on the urethra area of my penis multiple times so as to add lubrication.
I am worried that this girls saliva may have entered into my penis through the urethra area thus causing std/ HIV infection. I did not notice any blood or open wounds on my penis from this.
My question is as follows;
How much of a risk is there that I have contracted an std/ HIV based on the above information?
And in your your opinion is std/ HIV testing required based on this risk?
I very much appreciate you taking time to answer my question.
Kind regards

Welcome back to the forum.
In response to your question two years ago, I reminded you that STD transmission requires a bare penis (no condom) to be inserted into another person's vagina, rectum, or mouth; and that fingering or other hand-genital contact never result in STD. In addition, the contact you describe is especially low-risk, because saliva is rarely infected (It actually kills many bacteria and viruses).
Therefore, this was a risk-free exposure for all STDs, including HIV. You need not worry at all, do not need testing, and if you have a regular partner, you can safely continue unprotected sex without fear of transmission of any infection from this event.
