Is STD Transmission Possible After An Erotic Massage?

Posted on Wed, 1 Feb 2017

Question: I had a bodyslide massage 2 days ago by a white female in her 20's in Sydney Australia. During the massage I slipped into her vagina unsure if penetrated or was between the lips for between 3-5 seconds.

My questions are:
What are my chances of catching an STD

What are the chances of catching HIV

Answered by Dr. Sunil Jangid (47 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
The chances are very less.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

Welcome to HCM.

The chances of getting any STD or HIV from single such exposure of touching the genitals or evenwith penetration are very unlikely so don't get worried or anxious. For any further query feel free to ask me.

Should I follow up with a health check or was the risk of exposure that low that I should continue on with my normal life unless I present symptoms

Brief Answer:
You can live your life normally.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

Welcome back and thanks for follow-up.

As such your risk exposure is not so high that need testing so you can live your life normally. If still you have anxiety or fear than get tested for HIV and the result will surely come in your favor so be relaxed.
