Do you think if that man was infected with herpes, it could have shed the virus onto her hands, and survived long enough to be viable by the time she did my massage? Particularly if she didn’t wash her hands? Maybe in the oil residue

If the man was infected with herpes, if she even wiped her hands on a paper towel, she would have removed any viable virus from her hands.

Also, I know herpetic whitlow is rare, but would there be a chance that she had this, given that her hands may touch a lot of penises doing what she does? And how likely would it be to transmit even if she did have that?

I can’t speak to the odds that she would have whitlow on her hand, but I can tell you that whitlow is painful and pretty obvious so it would have been unpleasant for her to be using that hand and probably wouldn’t be working if a lesion was present. If she gave someone herpes from a handjob, she would most certainly get quite a few complaints.

I’ve had a red, fluffyish/bumpy texture to my glans, contant red and sensitive frenulum, weird painless, tiny flesh colored bumps that i cant even feel in the top half of my shaft, and my meatus gets red inflamed and sore especially after urinating. I also dribble a lot more than usual.

I’m wondering if it is possible that you are examining your penis more closely than normal? This happens pretty often when people have an encounter with someone that they regret, which I think you do. Also, herpes doesn’t fit the description of what you are experiencing.

I havent necessarily had anything id call a “blister” or anything that had fluid in it. These things started about 2 months after the massage, and I got a test at that time that came back negative.
Anything that starts two months after the handjob wouldn’t be a new infection. Glad that you tested negative.

I should also mention before this, about a month and a half after massage, i got a rash of red/purplish bumps on my side

And that doesn’t fit with a herpes presentation either.

You had a very safe sexual encounter and I don’t believe there is any risk with what you experienced to contract herpes. If this sex worker had oil and possibly semen on her hand, I doubt should could have left it that way for very long as she couldn’t even open a door knob easily with oil on her hands. If she needed that extra time after the other person left, I’m guessing she spent it cleaning up a bit.
