Is the threat gone?

Hi - I had received unprotected oral sex from what I'd call a higher than average risk person almost 8 months ago now. I was tested within 3 weeks after through a urine test and came back negative. I had no symptoms - just concern that I may have picked something up.
At this point in time now - is there any reason for concern of any std's from that encounter - such as syphallis, gonorrhea, herpes, warts etc? Is it too late for any of those to appear at this point, or is there a chance any of those could potentially still appear? Thx

Well then those are good enough. Possible for syphilis HSV and HPV, but those we already low risk to begin with. I would not be concerned.

On average 21 days for the canker but in some cases can not have a canker.

If I wanted to be tested to be sure - would it be speaking to a doctor and getting a blood test?

I think they tested for chlamydia, gonorrhea and whatever else can be tested 7 -10 days after the incident
