Hello good people,

I am sure this question has been asked before, but I must ask to calm my nerves. Please forgive the graphic details, i don't know how else to say.

I am 29-year-old male. Yesterday I went to a massage parlor. The lady gave me a table shower first. Then she gave me a nude massage and essentially a handjob. I know that is not a risk.

But I finally finished myself and ejaculated on her chest. She rubbed it off with the same towel that she had wiped me with after the shower. Now I am scared about 3 things:

1. I was rubbing my face on her chest and also sucked her nipples earlier. What if the previous person’s semen was there from before and I consumed some of it? Is that a risk?
2. Is its possible to get it from the towel, if it had the previous guy’s semen and she used it to dry me with it?
3. I rubbed the outside of her vagina for a while, did not insert a finger. Just rubbed it from outside. Is that a risk, I might have used that hand on myself later?
4. At the end of the massge, the lady brought a hot towel (which was wet) and cleaned up my penis with that (I am circumcised). Is there any chance that HIV particles from that towel might have entered my urethra during that and infected me? I am more worried because the towel was wet, not dripping but wet.

Please help me, going nuts right now. Should I be worried about HIV? Shoudl I test?

Thanks.

Dear El; this is essentially a "no risk" encounter.
#1) let's suppose that the previous encounter occurred within 15 minutes of your (which seems short considering the amount and degree of service she provided) there is no risk.

#2) No. HIV is a fragile virus and cannot be transmitted through the skin.

#3) Nope, not this one either.

#4) Nope. HIV is not spread through particles. Besides she handed you "hot towel" and this is pretty conclusive that the HIV virus was erradicated.

#5) please investigate and read mechanisms for transmitting this virus. It really will help to relieve you of these anxieties. chris

Thanks Greg and Chris, I really appreciate. I guess what is really getting me worried here is the guilt and the anger I feel at myself. I know there is no use beating myself up, what is done is done. I hope I come out of this ok.

Once again, thanks a million guys.

Dear El: There is nothing like guilt and sex to spoil an absolutely beautiful day. I have a friend who has told me repeatedly, "We never get enough of that which we don't need." How true! How True! chris
