[Question #10058] Really scared of HIV/Herpes/Syphilis

26 months ago

Hi Doctors,

I am a 28 year old heterosexual single male located in Canada.

Stupidly ,today(June 13th 2023), I had body slide with massage parlour girl.Girl applied some massage oil to my penis and stroked me for some seconds.Then we placed a MEDIUM THICK TOWEL CLOTH(as a barrier) on my pubic area covering from lower abdomen to half of thighs.The Girl was completely nude and sat on top of me near pubic area such that my penis and her pubic area are in contact but separated by TOWEL CLOTH and started grinding/doing body slide.

Then within 1 minute I ejaculated.

And towel got little wet at a particular place due to my ejaculation.Then I had shower immediately with hot water.

I am not sure about girl's STI statuses.

When I checked with the girl,she said she offer only massage and body slide services.Am I at risk of any STI/STDs due to this particular exposure?Can viruses/bacteria from girl's pubic area penerate through towel especially through wet area and reach my skin and cause infections?

Welcome to our Forum and thanks for your questions. Congratulations on your practice of safe sex. This was an entirely no risk encounter. Body sliding ( frottage), even without a towel between you is a no risk encounter. The same is true for when she stroked your penis (masturbation). STI bacteria and viruses, including HIV are not transmitted in this way. Further, they will not pass through material ( even very thin underwear) even when wet- the microbes stick to the fibers of the material.

This was a no risk encounter with no need for concern and no medical or scientific reason for testing. Please don’t worry. EWH
