[Question #5254] Massage with a glove
22 months ago
|
Hi Doctors,
I've been stressed lately at work so I decided to get a therapeutic massage that ended with a happy ending. When it was time for the ending, the female masseuse put on a latex glove. That's it. No other contact with the masseuse whatsoever. The reason I am concerned is that I did not see her take the glove from a box, so I am concerned that it was a dirty/used glove that she used with the prior patron. It must have been around 10 mins from the time the prior patron left and I came in. 2 weeks after this incident I had a mild sore throat and then 5 weeks after I have an itching sensation all over my body. My doctor recommended I take Claritin (antihistamine), and it has worked pretty well. I still itch, but substantially less. I know I am making a lot of assumptions here, but if we assume that the glove was used, had the prior patron's sperm on it, and the sperm was HIV positive, my questions are:
1] Am I at risk for hiv or any STI? Even if she rubbed the head of penis/urethra with the glove?
2] Does it make a difference if she was wearing a glove, or not?
3] She added lot of moisturizer on the glove. Does this make a difference?
I am very concerned with symptoms, especially because of the itching, which is extremely uncomfortable. I look forward to your response.
Thanks in advance,
