[Question #12847] Giving handjob

10 months ago

Hi Doctors

I had an encounter with a trans woman where I gave her a handjob, she did not cum but maybe had a little bit of precum. I kept my hand on myself separate from my hand on her as to not increase my risk.

What are the risks of getting a sti on my hand from this encounter.

Welcome to the Forum. Thanks for your questions. I’ll be glad to comment and hope that my reassurance that this was a no risk encounter. Mutual masturbation is a no risk activity, even if partners get each other’s genital secretions on one another. There is no medical or scientific reason for testing. Please don’t worry. You’re in the clear. EWH---

Thank you Dr. Hook

No need to keep an eye on any herpes or anything on my hand?

I repeat, there is virtually no risk of acquiring any STI from receipt of masturbation. That includes herpes EWH.---

I’m sorry I don’t want to be repetitive and waste your time…but I was the o e giving the masturbation. Does that change anything?

This is repetitive. And, this will be my final response. Receipt if masturbation is a virtually no risk event. If anything, performing masturbation is still lower risk. . The WHO, the CDC, and experts all agree on this. EWH---
