Title: Possible Exposure- Massage
Post by: Worriedguyza on March 10, 2022, 06:02:59 am
Dear Team.

Hope you well & Thank you tremendously for all the knowledge and feedback given to us worried souls.

I would like to find out the following.
I visited a Thai spa 4 weeks ago, It was the basic nude body to body massage.
Both of us were nude, there was a bit of frottage involved (no penetration).
I did give her oral unprotected & a little fingering happened.  Lots of massage oil was used & She also sucked my nipples.

Questions are :

Is there any HIV risk from frottage( vaginal fluids & my penis been in contact ) uncircumcised  ?

Is there any risk from fingering ?

Thanks and warm regards

Hiya,

Read your post three times, nothing you mentioned was an HIV risk to you.

Here's what you need to know to avoid HIV infection:
Use condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse correctly and consistently, every time, with no exceptions. Consider talking to your healthcare provider about PrEP as an additional layer of protection against HIV

Keep in mind that some sexual practices which may be described as safe in terms of acquiring HIV might still pose a risk for other easier acquired STI's. So please do get tested at least yearly for STI's including but not limited to HIV, and more frequently if condomless intercourse occurs.

Also, note that it is possible to have an STI and show no signs or symptoms, and the only way of knowing is by testing.

Kind regards

Jim

Hiya,

There was no HIV risk to you, so no need to test outside of the standard yearly screening.

Hiya Jim

I tested for this for peace of mind 11 weeks after exposure.
Results are negative, can i take this as conclusive or do i have to test after 12 weeks again.

Hello Guys.

Happy Valentines Day.  ;D  from South Africa


On Sunday 11 Feb I had a massage under the influence but still had safe judgement i think.
.
Things that transpired:

B2B massage.
Kissing
She rimmed me
She gave me a raw BJ
I gave her a handjob.  No oral from me.

She probably touched my ass with her dick. No Intercourse i am sure she did not enter me.

3 days later slight sore throat and feeling sore like flu.

Would you recommend testing? Or can I move on without fear.

In short, your adult risks of acquiring HIV are limited:

- Sex; Condomless intercourse & a minute (more theoretical than true) HIV risk when giving a blowjob.
- Sharing IV drug rigs (Syringes)
- Blood transfusions (Rare thanks to screening in most nations)

Thanks for the reply Jim.

So even if she had precum near me. It wouldn’t be a risk.

To Clarify no testing needed? 

Just got scared because of the sore throat all of a sudden.

There was no HIV exposure, no HIV risk, move on with your life.

Use condoms for any intercourse and as you are sexually active get an STI screening yearly out of standard routine.

You would have noticed if they had penetrated you with their penis.

There was no HIV exposure, no HIV risk, move on with your life.

What you posted wasn't an HIV risk, no HIV exposure, no HIV test needed over this encounter, hence I keep saying "Move on with your life".

So, move on with your life, use condoms for any intercourse and as you are sexually active get an STI screening yearly out of standard routine
