Hi all and thanks for the service you provide.
A couple of days ago I saw a trans sex worker for a body slide massage. She proceeded to get me to lie on my front and she then lay on top of me. She began rubbing up and down on my penis (not sure which body part she used) until I ejaculated. Is there any chance that this was a risk for HIV? If she had any precum that came into contact with my penis could I be infected? Assuming of course that she was positive which I have no idea about.
Thank you

Hiya.
It's not an HIV risk. Relax and move on with your life.
Here's what you need to know to reduce your HIV risks:
Use condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse correctly and consistently, 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 described as safe in terms of acquiring HIV still pose a risk for other easier-acquired STIs. So please do get tested at least yearly for STIs, 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; testing is the only way to know.
Kind regards
Jim

Thanks for your reply. How long after the incident should I wait to get tested for other STI’s?

Just test whenever your next standard yearly STI screening is due.
