Transmission Risk and HSV symptoms Question

Hello. First of all I want to say thanks for all the great info. Here is my situation. I am a male.

About 12 days ago I had risky sexual behavior with a stripper as follows. I do not know anything about her past but assume she is a likely candidate for STIs.

1. Had sex with a condom for about 30 seconds maximum. The condom covered at least the majority of my penis, but I cannot say for certain it covered completely.

2. She gave me protected oral sex and did not come into contact with exposed penis.

3. I masturbated her, and then maybe a minute or so later masterbated myself with the same hand.

First of all, what is my risk of transmission?

Secondly, about 1 week after the incident I had lower back pain on my right side that felt a lot like kidney pain. This pain lasted about 3 days. Also, about 12 days after the incident I noticed a tiny pimple like bump on the shaft of my peis. There is only 1 bump and it is maybe 1mm in diameter. There does not appear to be a hair growing from it.

Can someone please ***** my transmission risk and symptoms? Thank you for the help

When it comes to flu like symptoms, a sore would develop first. Just depends on the person. With hsv2 maybe twice or 4 times a year, with hsv1 maybe only one or 2.. There needs to be much more than a little bit of skin contact. There needs to be rubbing to force the virus into the nerve.

you had not much of any risk at all. I only mention this because your not sure if your penis made contact outside the condom. other wise i would say you have zero risk.

Actually meant to say "masterbation" scenario. The one with me masterbating her and then myself with the same hand

Whats the master nation scenario? For your question, herpes is not passed that way but needs direct rubbing contact.

Thanks for all of the help! Out of curiosity, why is the master nation scenario not valid? If I got her fluids on my fingers and then rubbed them in via masterbation, could this not result in transmission?

Sorry for all of the questions, just want some peace of mind. But do you think I  am at serious risk for any other STD given the scenarios above?

Thanks for all of the help!

Thank you very much for the reply. The mental relief you all give is great.

Have you heard of the back pain being a symptom of HSV, or any other STDs?

Also, on average, how often do females exhibit sores? And hypothetically, if this woman was having an outbreak and there was a little bit of skin to skin contact, what are the chances of me acquiring HSV? Again the sex lasted maybe 30 seconds maximum.

Thanks again!

Hi, masturbation is not an issue so we can rule that out for any stds,s including herpes. Also you can rule out the protected oral since no skin contact was made. This leaves us with the protected vaginal. If no skin contact was made, there is zero risk for herpes but is some penis contact or pubic mond area was made and she did not have any genital sores at the time, your risk for herpes would be close to zero from a one time affair.
Those most at risk for herpes are in long term mono relatonships where one partner is infected.
Your penis bump is not suggestive of herpes and if that part was covered with the condom, it not herpes related at all.

Also, the bump is painless and there is no itching, etc.
