Hypothetical risk only.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for your query at HCM.
I understand your concern and situation.

I would like to tell you that there is only hypothetical risk in hand job as compared to penetrative intercourse. This will depend upon amount of virus in the semen and presence of cuts or sores on the oral mucous membranes. Overall the risk of an adult contracting HIV from hand job would be extremely low. But still I would suggest you to get rapid or ELISA test after12 weeks from encounter for psychological advantage.

Hope I answered your query

Hi

Ya I know it was the area of mucus lining of penis in initial parts which I wanted to describe. Oral was written by mistake.
