You mentioned blood tests and urine tests, but you need to know that some tests, including herpes, can't be tested by those fluids alone. Many diseases are not passed through the blood stream. Herpes, for example, is a virus that enters the body and travels along the nervous system. The only way for you to test for other diseases is to be examined by a doctor, taking fluid samples from the urethra which runs through the penis, and watching your body for some painful sores (herpes lets you know it is there!) Other diseases like HPV may leave bumps that itch and are not painful.

Since there are other diseases that you may have (though just because you went to a 'massage parlor' doesn't mean that there are diseases passed on. Many places go to great lengths to make sure they don't pass on diseases. A business doesn't stay open very long if the rumor is that they spread diseases.

I would just get a good check up by a doctor who knows about diseases, and watch your body. I would also not have intercourse without using a condom, so that if you do have something on your genitals you will not spread it to your partner.

I hope this is helpful. Thanks for writing, and feel free to write again.
