Can HIV Be Transmitted Without Any Sexual Contact?

I took a massage from a masseur with a cream, also she gave me a hand job and body to body massage. There was no contact of saliva nor vaginal discharge as she was only topless and there was enormous amount of gel/cream. Is it riky? should I go for a HIV test?

Hello
As you mentioned that she was only topless , so you didn't came in contact with cervical smear or vaginal discharge ( main source of HIV infection ) of that girl , so in this mode you can't get HIV infection .
She massaged you and came in contact body to body , in VITRO virus can't survive , so can't get HIV infection.

Although HIV can be identified , if not isolated from virtually any body fluid, there is NO EVIDENCE that HIV transmission can occur as a result of exposure to tears, sweat and urine.
It means there is no any chance of getting HIV infection by you.
So in my opinion need not to worry and don't require any test as there is no risk.
Good luck.
