Dear,
body to body massage can transmit HIV very rarely.
But it can transmit other skin related contagious disease. Avoid if possible. Don't worry about HIV. Hepatitis B is more vulnerable. HIV transmission depends on volume of fluid which has been exposed, status of other partner, mode transmission and other infections.
