![]() You can contact your local health department if you need additional information or to find a STI testing center near you. While it is theoretically possible that someone with an open cut or fresh abrasion on his or her finger or hand could contract HIV if it comes into contact with blood or secretions in the anus or vagina, there has never been a documented case of HIV transmission through fingering. So be sure to wash hands and toys thoroughly after “handling” your partner’s fluids and before touching your own. STIs such as pubic lice (crabs), HPV, gonorrhea, herpes, and chlamydia may be transmitted through mutual masturbation, but the risk is still very low. HIV is only spread through specific body fluids: blood, semen, pre-seminal fluid (secreted from penis before ejaculation), vaginal and rectal fluid, and breast milk. There are slight risks of transmitting other STIs besides HIV through a handjob, especially if you touch your partner’s genitals, and then touch your own, or if you share toys. Also, remember that even this minimal risk only exists if the partner you are masturbating is HIV positive. If the giver of the handjob knows that they have a cut or sore, use a condom and some lubrication for the handjob to be completely safe. The possibility really only exists if the person giving the handjob has an open cut or wound on her or his hand that comes in contact with infected semen or vaginal secretions. Unbroken skin is protective - the virus cannot live on the surface of the skin, so undamaged skin touching infected semen will not pick up the virus. ![]() HIV transmission can only occur when any of the following four fluids from an HIV infected person find their way into a non-infected person’s body via mucous membranes (eyes, mouth, vagina, anus) or into the blood stream via an open sore or cut. Fingering (stimulating the vagina with a finger or two) is not a likely route for HIV transmission. ![]() ![]() To become infected through a handjob, while theoretically possible, would be a most unlikely event. ![]()
