Hello. I’m a bisexual male who occasionally plays with other males. I am always concerned and maybe to overly paranoid. 
Last week I met a an older guy. He  was stroking himself then me. No oral or no anal 
I’m curious if hiv clamydia or gon are risks 
From what I read this seems like a non issue but wanted some reassurance and to know if I need to go get tested 
Thanks

Welcome to our forum. Thank you for your questions. I’ll be happy to comment. The activities you described our variants on mutual masturbation. Mutual masturbation is a no risk activity. This is true, even when partners get each other’s genital secretions on one another in the process. There is no risk for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, or other STI’s related to the activities you describe. Similarly there is no reason for testing.  Some of our clients choose to test for the additional reassurance that a negative test result provides, but that is a Personal choice. Should you choose to test, I am confident that the test will show that you did not acquire an STI from the activities you described.

I hope this information is helpful. Please don’t worry. EWH.
