Herpes from encounter with escort

Hello, I had an encounter with an escort about a month ago. It was protected oral and vaginal. Also very brief as the whole thing last 5-10 mins. My concern is should I test for herpes even though I'm not showing any symptoms. I am male by the way. I also went and got checked for clamydia, gonherra, slyphis, and trictamonsis and they came out negative at 17 days. Would retests these at 3 months be dependent on?

Cold symptoms have nothing to do with any std.
Yes getting tested again at three months is a waste. Your protected encounter has effectively brought your odds as close  to zero as you can get. You already tested for the usual suspects which you can not get while wearing a condom. You can rest assured that all is well and you can absolutely resume relations with your wife.

The tests you had are conclusive and no further testing is necessary. I also do not recommend hsv testing as the protected exposure you had was safe sex. Condoms are very effective against all std's. This was a one time single exposure and you have zero hsv symptoms. You can move on without concern. You can also resume your normal sexual activities if you have a regular partner.

Thank you! I been so stressed about this for the past month. So getting tests again at 3 months would be a waste then? I haven't had any symptoms except for maybe a cold for a few days(stuffy nose and cough). I don't think this is anything related. So it is ok to resume unprotected sex with my wife?
