Hello Doctor, I had an encounter with a sex worker that I am concerned about. We did not have penetrative sex. She massaged my penis with her hand and used a small amount of her saliva and then started using lubrication. She also briefly massage my anus and I think there was some saliva on her hand for that too. We also kissed a lot with some tongue. I asked, and she said she was infection free, but I find myself very worried. I am primarily very scared about the potential saliva contact to my anus. I took a shower after. Thank you.

Welcome back to the forum, but I'm surprised you felt the need in view of your previous thread a little over three weeks ago. Presumably this is a different event, but they are very similar. Since that event was no risk, why didn't you assume the same for this one?---

Sorry for what seems to be a scientifically redundant post. My concern, and confusion, was that there could have been some saliva contact and I was afraid my anus could have been a riskier 'skin'. However, it sounds like saliva passed to the skin is not dangerous, anus or otherwise. I don't suppose your opinion would change if she somehow touched herself before doing it either, which I suppose could have happened. My question a few weeks ago about the risk of possible fluids in the massage oil tub, I do now recognize as ridiculous, and I am relieved this concern is equally so. I also recognize my hypochondria and guilt is not the best use of your forum, but I do greatly appreciate your reassurance, and also your patience with me.

Yes, my opinion and advice would not change if she had "touched herself" (meaning her genital area) and then contacted your anal area.---

Thank you very much for the reassurance, Dr. Handsfield, I will do my best to let this go as a non event.

Thanks for the thanks. I'm glad to have helped. Best wishes and stay safe.---
