Can a massage therapist catch HIV from someone the have massaged?
In order to have this risk the massage therapist would have to have been in contact with the client's bodily fluids (ie blood ) and have compromised skin, ie a cut or open wound. I wouldn't think this would be a very big risk...if you were a nurse and got stuck by a needle that had been used on an HIV patient that would be the time to worry!
