Does masturbation by masseur transfer an HIV?

Resolved question:
Dear Doctor

Does masturbation (Hand job) by masseur transfer an HIV ?

I have done a 4th generation (Combo) in week 4 and it is negative.

Is it conclusive ?

Thank you!

Hello. Thank you for posting your query at Doctorspring.com
I understand your concern.
HIV is only transferred through sexual intercourse ( anal/ vaginal ). Oral sex has a very low incidence, more of a theoretical possibility. Other ways are through contaminated blood products, peri natal transmission from mother to the child, by sharing infected needles. HIV can't be spread through a hand job, there has to be exchange of fluids for it to be spread.
Since your 4th generation test came out to be negative, there is absolutely no need to worry about HIV anymore. 4th generation test is 99 percent sensitive and is positive by the 3rd week. So you dont have HIV.
Feel free to discuss further,
Regards
