Welcome to the forum. Thank you for your confidence in our services and for your succinct question.

No worries at all here. STDs are not transmitted by hand-genital contact; not enough viruses and bacteria can be carried over to allow it to happen. There is no STD risk including hepatitis B virus (HBV) from hand-genital contact even if someone uses her own genital fluids for lubrications. (The same is true of HPV, if that's what you actually meant to write -- and all STDs.) You will get genital HPV only from actual sex from another person. In addition, there is no realistic chance the lubricating oil got contaminated with another client's genital secretions; and  the oil probably would have neutralized any viruses or bacteria as well.

I hope these comments are helpful. Let me know if anything isn't clear.

I have another question, what is the difference between STD and STI? I see the difference between your responses, you and Dr. Hook.

Contrary to information you can find online, HBV is not often sexually transmitted between men and women -- primarily it's an issue for men who have sex with men. And if you were vaccinated, you're immune anyway; and perhaps so is your masseuse. Anyway HBV probably has never been transmitted by hand genital contact.

There is no difference between STD and STI; it's just that some people and agencies prefer one term over the other. In general, Dr. Hook does tend to use STI whereas I use both interchangeably. In fact, I am the author of articles about the lack of difference between them:  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25763667/   https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29023286/ 

For what it's worth, the distinction is only in English. In most languages a single term is used, and some experts in other countries consider the debate in English speaking countries to be a little bit silly.---

No, you should not be worried at all. You were at zero risk for HBV and I gave several reasons. My statements above are very clear:  perhaps you should try a different translation program, or find a friend who understands English well. 

That completes the two follow-up comments and replies included with each question and so ends this thread. Best wishes and stay safe.
