Hey guys, I was hoping to get some input.

A few days ago I saw a provider and got an HJ. Since then I’ve been getting increasingly paranoid about the possibility of contracting something. Maybe it’s dumb as I do always feel some level of paranoia afterwards, it’s just that this place was on the cheaper end ($30 for 30min not including tip of course) and just looked a little seedier than the other couple of providers I’ve been to? It also seemed like she was the only girl working there (at least at that time) which made me wonder about the hygiene of the place.

From doing a little reading online it seems like STIs from an HJ are more of a risk for the giver if they have cuts or something, but since it’s on my mind I still wanted to ask you guys who might have done more reading on this or have helpful advice how major the risk is or if you have any thoughts. Thanks in advance

    Take a deep breath and relax.

    If you only received a hand job, you will not get a STI. The only way you might remotely get an STI from a HJ is if she spit on your cock instead of using a lubricant.

    Can’t get an STI with a HJ. STIs cannot live outside then body for very long. Unless she has her hand covered with warm, sticky cum off a previous engagement which you would have immediately noticed, this is an impossibility. She will at least wash her hands.

    Even STIs with BJs and spit HJs are medically so very very very low the STI clinic will consider it low risk.

    Even if you were fucking a lady and the condom broke unless she is literally infectious it’s low risk. The clinic will give your a post exposure prophylactic just to make you feel better mentally. Statistically the risk is super low in a first world country (only relevant medical knowledge of sex workers is from there).

    Educate yourself. And if you’re worried about hygiene in such places, you shouldn’t go to such places. Simple.
