Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I went to a massage parlor and got a hand job. I was told by my doctor that sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are not transmitted this way. Is this true?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. This is true. Only direct genital contact or contact through cuts on genitals, blood, semen or saliva can lead to (sexually transmitted diseases) STDs, not hand job. Take care.
Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
So should I get tested for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)?
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com. If that is the only exposure and there is no other sexual activity involved, then the answer is no. You do not need to go for any tests.
