[Question #13325] Body to Body Massage - small cut in finger

9 days ago

Hello,

I really appericiate what you guys do here, Helping poor souls like me.
Please asses my circumstances, I went for an erotic massage, Girl removed only Bra. She gave me a body to body massage and at the end a hand job. Thats all that happened, No fingering/sucking nipples. I took a shower and came out from her place. In my car i noticed i have got a small cut in my finger which wasnt there earlier. there was small blood visible inside it. No dripping/running blood.
What are my risk here?

Welcome to the forum. Thank you for your question.

This was absolutely no risk. You might have had education that over emphasizes HIV risks. This sort of exposure has absolutely no chance of transmitted HIV, even if your massage person has HIV -- which probably she does not. Don't worry about it. Do not get tested. If you have a regular partner, you can safely continue unprotected sex with that person. Also ignore other warnings or website advice about such trivial exposures. Trust me on this: you will never be at risk for HIV until and unless you have unprotected vaginal or anal sex with a person who might be infected. Disregard all other possibilities you might find mentioned online or from educators, religious resources, etc.

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

Thanks a lot Doc for your assessment.

So does this mean you have never come across anyone getting hiv infection through small wounds?

Exactly right: neither I nor Dr. Hook has ever seen such a case. I am confident no HIV/AIDS provider anywhere in the world has ever seen an HIV infected patient whose only possible exposure was a massage, with or without skin cuts or wounds. Probably it has never happened.---

Thanks Again.

Happy to have this thread closed.

You and other forum members are doing a great community service as $32 is nothing for a Doctors consultation(At least in western world). There is so much of misinformation out there and it just gets people in extreme anxiety state. You guys are helping so many people, its admirable.
