Question: Hi Doctor, Hope you are doing fine.
Below is the scenario .
Went to a massage spa for body massage and at the end maasause, did handjob with oil... She did hard handjob with oil and pull back my foreskin hardly, due to this my under foreskin Tyson glands skin gets little teared and have a cut. , But no bleeding ... It's become reddish and spotted like a tiny cut...
Does this poses any hiv risk?

Brief Answer:
HIV risk is negligible
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Hand job is one of the safest sexual activities. Why do you imagine that the massage girl is a HIV positive woman? She could very well be an HIV free girl.
HIV transmission through touching an wound with hands is very much unlikely as HIV cannot be viable over the skin of the palms and fingers not more than few seconds. Even if she had a open cut in her fingers, she would have used her fingers cautiously to avoid the wound touching your skin owing to the pain or discomfort sensations.
Even if we consider that she is a HIV positive woman and her wound came in contact with your fresh injury of penis, the risk of HIV transmission is negligible only. There is nothing wrong in getting tested for HIV after the window period as you had some suspicion about HIV risk.
