Home / Answered Questions / Hi You may have had this question asked on numerous occasions however given my anxiety it may be causing somewhat of an inflated and irrational concern about the risk of hiv via hand to Genital contact. In Brief over the past several months I received many massages from females, some non sexual, some that ended up with receipt of hand job, a few mutual touching and once oral unprotected. At no time was there any genital to genital contact or insert I’ve vaginal and anal sex. As I was concerned about the unprotected oral I completed full sti test 67 days including hiv rapid test combo and all were negative. I further completed a similar hiv test again at 15 weeks of the unprotected for peace of mind and that to was negative. My only concern was from the last visit to masseuse where I received a hand jod 11 days prior to the last hiv rapid test. Should I be concerned about the last hand to my genital contact and retest or am I correct to assume hand to genital posses no hiv risk and just move on. Look forward to hearing from you as I may address what may be a guilt /anxiety concern of a zero risk matter. Thanks

There is no risk of HIV from hand to genital contact.
