Good evening i'm asking this question for my friend, He went to Asian massage parlor and received a hand job. He didn't see any sores on her hands and she cleaned her hands before the massage and he us wondering if he's at risk at any type of STD(HSV HPV or syphilis) skin to skin contact.
He lives in Texas
His seamen came into contact with her hand could this be a Risk
Should he be worried about contacting other std's from this exposer?
Thank you for your time!!!

Welcome back to the Forum. Thanks for your questions. Major public health agencies like the CDC and WHO classify receipt of masturbation as a, virtually no risk exposure. Experts agree with this assessment. This is true even if a person gets genital secretions on them during masturbation- still no risk. This assessment includes concerns for molluscum. I see no reason for concern and no need for testing if your friend's only exposure was receipt of masturbation. EWH---

So Molluscum contagiosum
In adults can only be transferred through sexual activity like receptive and Penetrate?

Molluscum is not always an STI. IN fact, it is most common in children in which lesions are vigorously rubbed against. It is not meaningfully transmitted through masturbation because lesions are rare on the hands. It really is not a concern. EWH---
