Dear Healthnurse,

I recently went to a massage parlor and despite my best judgement, allowed the attendant to give me a full pussy slide to completion. I also learned that she was on her period at the time (does this increase risk of STI transmission?). I know that the pussy slide is a high risk act, so I'd like to go get tested for STIs to make sure I didn't contract anything. Can you please help me understand what I am and am not at risk of contracting and when and what I should get tested for? Should I go get tested now or wait? This happened earlier this week.

Thank you for your help.

Hi fossy207

When a sexually transmitted infection (STI) is passed to you, it can take a bit of time for a test to show a positive result. This is called the window period.

If you get any symptoms it is best to go to the clinic ASAP.

Most STI do not show symptoms when passed and in this case we recommend waiting 2 weeks before going for a check up. Here is a link to some information on what tests we recommend and how long you need to wait before getting tested for accuracy.

It is hard to know your exact risk as it really depends on many different factors e.g. does the person have an STI in the first place.

With genital to genital rubbing STI’s like herpes (HSV), genital warts (HPV) and syphilis can pass with this genital to genital contact.

STI that are in the vaginal fluid like gonorrhea and chlamydia really need to come in contact with your urethra (pee tube) for them to be passed (not sure if this happened).

STI like HIV and hepatitis B are also in the vaginal fluid and can be passed if fluid comes in contact with the urethra or a cut/break in the skin.

Hepatitis C is a virus that is in the blood. Hepatitis C does not pass easily with sex, but this small risk can increase if blood is present e.g. lady having her period. At the same time this virus would need to get into the body through a cut or sore.
