Question : Hi so today I went to an masseuse and she masturbated me at the end. I wanted to know if I could get an std

Brief Answer:
It is extremely less likely that you will get a STD

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your earlier query also and replied.
Please find my observations below considering your situation.

1. Masseuses usually maintain hygienic conditions and I hope you might have seen her apply antiseptic solution and then proceed with giving you a massage.

2. You might have observed that a clean bed sheet was used or whether the sheet was not changed before you were given a massage.

3. You can recollect the above incident and if she cleaned her hands and a clean sheet was used then you will never get a STD. You can go back to the masseuse if possible and confirm the above conditions.

Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Regards,
Dr.Vivek
