Question : Hi,
I went to a massage parlor. I took a massage package where the lady masseuse was naked and doing body to body massage. I was not aware of what all will be happening. The lady started sitting on my lap and massaging. I did not wear any protection. It was dark and i am not aware of what happened. I am sure her vagina did not touch my penis. But i am not sure about my scrotum . Then she gave me a handjob and i took bath. I used the same towel as she used. After coming back home i washed my private part with water and body shower. Now i am feeling burning sensation in my scrotum. This burning sensation is happening only when i am seated . If i walk i am not able to feel the sensation. Is it a symptom of STD or HIV which might have infected me? I want to take all necessary tests related to STD and HIV.Please list out them to me. Since it has been only two days since it has happened will all the tests which i want to do will be effective ? Please let me know what am i going through.

Brief Answer:
Need not worry
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
With the exposure you explained I do not think that you could have contracted any sexually transmitted disease. The burning sensation on the scrotum could be due to minute abrasion. Such abrasions could be due to use of faulty soap or any chemical detergents. This will fade off over time even without any treatment or you can use KETO dusting powder to get rid of it early.
I believe there is no need for any tests. If you still want to get the tests for STDs you can go for Herpes,HPV, VDRL for syphilis, HIV, Chlamydia and urine test.
Wish you good health.
regards,

Brief Answer:
Wait for a week
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing back.
There should be a minimum period of a week (incubation period) for the tests to pick up the infections. I suggest you to wait for the same period before getting the tests.
You can get the tests done any reputed lab like ranbaxy, metropolis or thyrocare etc. The cost of the tests differs from lab to lab depending on the procedure they use to detect the infection.
With the description of the exposure you provided, I am sure there is no risk of any STDs and no need for testing too.
Wish you good health.
