Just to clarify, my lower leg was under continuous mechanical massage pressure during contact with debris on the automated massage chair that could have been from a previous user, even if that person had an infection.

Please note the forum policy against repeated questions on the same topic. This is your third about your nonsexual or other zero risk exposures to HIV or other STIs and be your last along these lines. Repetitive questions may be deleted without reply and without refund of the posting fee. The forum sponsor doesn't want repeated payment for questions already answered (or whose answers are obvious from previous discussions) and repeated answers tend to prolong rather than relieve anxiety. In addition, such questions have reduced educational value for other users, one of the forum's goals. Thank you for your understanding.

Hi Dr Handsfield, thank you very much for your clarification and patience. I really appreciate it.

As English is not my first language, I just wanted to confirm that I understood your wording correctly.

When you said “no chance in my judgment or advice,” I initially wondered if “chance” might have been a typo for “change,” so I wanted to confirm your intended meaning.

You meant that there is absolutely no possibility that this situation would change your judgment or advice, and that the risk remains zero, correct?

I now understand that environmental or everyday contact — even involving possible contact with another person’s wound debris — does not pose a risk for HIV, Syphilis or other STIs, and I do not need to worry about such situations in the future. I will not raise further questions about similar situations.

Thank you again.
