This is going to sound bad, but I wanted to know what the CHANCES ARE of catching an STD such as herpes or syphilis from a handjob?
I was at a health spa in eastern europe. The lady who was performing the full body massage, after she did my back, she began to rub my penis as well till I came. I did not stop her. She had undergarments on the whole time and I never saw her touch herself in her groin. At no time did she use saliva that I saw of. Also I was not allowed to even reach out and touch her. However, the whole experience has freaked me out! I went to a doctor at a VD clinic to get checked the week after I got home and he told me that while it was possible to catch something he had never heard of, or met anyone who had. He said I was paranoid.
Please save any judgements you may have on my conduct, I'm asking for real advice and just would like to know if I should get a second opinion from another doctor. HSV-1, which is transmitted through oral secretions or sores on the skin, can be spread through kissing or sharing objects such as toothbrushes or eating utensils.
In general, a person can only get HSV-2 infection during sexual contact with someone who has a genital HSV-2 infection. Both HSV-1 and HSV-2 can be spread even if sores are not present.
Anyone who comes into close physical contact with a person who has syphilis can develop syphilis. You don't have to have sexual intercourse to get syphilis-exposure can result from close contact with an infected person's genitals, mouth, or rectum.
If detected and treated, syphilis can be cured with antibiotics. If not treated, syphilis will linger and may progress to the late stage where more serious health problems, such as blindness, heart disorders, mental disorders, nervous system problems, and even death, can occur. There has to be an exchange of infected fluids for you to contract either one. |
