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---

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---
