Brief Answer:
Please don't worry! There is no risk for HIV and STD.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Based on your history, just massage without sexual intercourse, I think you shouldn't worry because there is no risk for HIV and STD.
You should know that exist a low risk to get syphilis only if she had some elements in skin of secondary syphilis during this time.

I suggest to do a culture of the puss to define better the diagnosis.

I hope my answer helps you.
Regards.
