A member asked:
I got massage with oil. and the masseuse squeezed my pimple, blood and pus came out. will it put me in risk for hiv?

Unless your masseuse had active HIV and skin lesions that were weeping, just opening a pimple on your body irrespective of its contents will not cause you to get HIV. If you are having risky contact as part of your sexual life then you should add Truvada or another protective drug to your daily life to lower your risk.
