Hi doctors ,
I got a handjob 19 may 2024 I know no risk , but when she was massaging me after the handjobI felt a real sharp scratch like pain in my back , I checked my back in a mirror no blood , but still left the premises feeling really really anxious!  I vowed never to go to a place like this again and thought I could move on ! 

22 June 2024 I was moving on , in a moment of weakness I still cant believe I done it!!!! I visited another massage place I got a handjob plus was sucking her toes ! Anyway I left the place and I felt a whole load of nervousness about the first visit and this second visit , what happens if she had a cut on her toes?  I'm considering ordering the 10 day hiv Pcr hiv 1 and 2 in London , because I want to put this all behind me, and never frequent these places again! 
Will the test cover both my visits if negative can I move on ? What do you recommend? I'm really anxious right now . Is the early 10 day test good enough to rule both visits out.

Thankyou

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

Nobody in the world has ever been known to acquire HIV from an injury in the environment. Even if some sharp object had previously been contaminated with HIV infected blood, and with a visible bleeding injury, your risk would have been zero for all practical purposes. And with no visible skin break, the chance is truly zero.

As for the June exposure, you answer your own question with your opening statement: "I got a handjob...I know no risk." And oral contact even with open sores carries little or no risk for HIV; certainly nobody ever acquired the virus by kissing or sucking a partner's skin anywhere on the body -- including toes. I would advise you to accept the scientific realities and not waste your money, time, or emotional energy on HIV testing. Of course you are free to be tested if you wish, in which case it would be better to delay the PCR to 12-14 days after the event to be sure of a 100% conclusive result.

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