Handjob

[indy106]

Dr.

I know after reviewing the site you get tons of questions in this area, but frankly when oe goes on the web there is a lot of mis-information. Since you are really an expert in this field I thought it appropriate to ask you:

If a woman{stripper} gives a man a brief handjob with no ejaculation, and no obvious sores, blood or openings on me, and her hand appears to have nothing on it detectable to my eyes, and I do not believe she touched her genitals beforehand.. is there ANY risk of STD's including HIV, warts, or Herpes? Has there ever to you knowledge been a documented case? Is it a 100% unlikely?
Also, we each sucked on each others nipples very briefly...less than 5 mintutes...same questions. She has not had a baby recently, and I did not taste any fluids.

Thank you for taking time..I know you have busier items than this...but thx

People who have acquired HSV any syphilis from masturbation have had DIRECT contact with lesions present on thier partner's hands.  No sores, no risk.  Transmission from one genital site to another person's genital on someone's hands does not occur.  EWH

[Edward W Hook, MD]

You are interpreting my statement correctly.  It is a bit hard to express but the bottom line is that someone cannot pass herpes on to another person by first touching themselves at asite of infection and then transferring the virus to another person's genital through masturbation.  EWH

I probably did not say the last post correctly...I am trying  to better understand " transmission from one genital site to another persons genital on someones hands does not occur. " Does that mean it would be impossible to spread herpes by her first touching her hand to her vagina and then giving me a handjob? Sorry, I am so dense. I know I am over my meter time, but thanks again.

If I post something else I'll pay again..thank you.

Sorry, I am a bit dense, but can you quickly explain your last sentence in the context of my question. Does it mean she can not touch her vagina if she had herpes for example and then pass on to me through handjob...

I am paid my meter time...for sure, but thanks....

Last add on comment...I respect your opinion and understnd you only have so much time.

In order for Syphilis or Herpes to occur rarely as you said what conditions would need to be present...would the woman giving the handjob need an active sore on her hand?? And, what prevents herpes transferring from her had to my genitals if she touched her vagina and I did not know.

I will not bother you again, and I dod genuinely appreciate your work.

Best.

I am focused because I am married and do not want to pass anything on...if that to focued ok.

I am confused...earlier in these postings I ask you if you had ever been presented with a case...which you ruled as a nsilly question...now, when pushed you say a few people acquired herpes and syphilis through hand to genital contact???????????????

Which is it...can't be both ways..sorry.

[Edward W Hook, MD]

Your are really too focused on this. I have seen a few people who acquired herpes and even syphilis through hand-genital contact.  It however does NOT occur frequently enough to worry about. EWH

[indy106]

I do not know why I was made fun of...but since you are a expert, and probably seen thousands of patients...I wanted to understand IF you had EVER seen a case...then its not in theory possible if you understand my point.

My final follow up please...so when I touched her vagina for a couple of minutes there is no chance of transferring warts or Herpes to my hand?? Thank you.

[Edward W Hook, MD]

Just a note.  "Have you ever...." questions are a bit silly but no, I have not.

Yes, probably far less than 0.1%  EWH

[indy106]

Final question Dr. Hook...have you ever been presented with a case from what I described and would you say the percentage of likelihood is less tha .1??

Thanks for your work.

Welcome to the Forum.  As much as I appreciate the internet, the amount of mis-information present is staggering.  While people do get hit by lightening from time to time and I have even heard of someone who was hit by a meteorite once, the chances of something like this really happening are so low as to be not worth worrying about.   The same has to do with acquisition of STDs from touching or participation in mutual masturbation. It is just not a major concern and is not something to worry about.  

None of the activities you describe carry any meaningful risk for STD and in the absence of symptoms I would not recommend testing or concern.  EWH

Forgot to add that I touched her vagina not deeply for maybe a minute with my finger but that finger or hand never touched my genitals
