Does Getting A Massage While Having Open Wounds On Foot Expose Risk Of HIV?
Hi Doc, I went for a full body massage recently. At the end of the session, I suddenly remembered that I have a couple of foot blisters (one on my toe and another on my ankle). I got them from not wearing socks and playing soccer two days before. Normally, I would have covered any cuts and wounds with a plaster and inform the massage lady to avoid those areas but in this case I totally forgot about the blisters. What if the massage lady has a wound on her hand while massaging me or something like that? Am I at risk of HIV? Do I need testing?
