Doubts : Hand job

Doubts :
Hand job , massage centre rubbing of penis on masseuse body – how big is this risk ? Worried about fluids in hand , tissue etc coming in contact with penis although i did not notice any of it the masseuse washed herself before and looked clean

6 week bio-sure test : negative ( means I have tested negative and 95% of people would have got antibodies now and I have to redo test at 12 weeks to be just sure -correct ?)
If 12 week bio sure is negative, do I need to confirm with any other test?

Hi Reassuring, Given your description, I would say that there is little to no risk of you contracting HIV from this type of exposure. HIV is most commonly passed on during unprotected oral, vaginal or anal sex. A negative result at 6 weeks using our test is a good indication of your result but you do need to retest at 12 weeks for a conclusive result just to be sure. Kindest regards, Becky
