Risk assessment - Quick answer appreciated

I posted this question several days ago and did not get a single answer. I apologize if I missed the answer but I did not see any.  I will paste the question again in hopes someone can please provide assistance.  

I'm a male early 30's. Over the course of the last eight (8) months I engaged in three (3) acts of unprotected oral sex where I received it.

The first act lasted about one minute.

The second act lasted about 30 seconds.

The third act lasted 30 seconds.  

No acts were to completion. Status of each female is unknown.  Basically it was a female who would briefly go down on me and she would use her hand to finish me.   No deep throating. Two of the three incidents were her mouth on the head of my erect penis.  One of the three was an actual quick blowjob.  Up and down in her mouth for only 30 seconds.  

Question:  If these acts took place between 4 and 8 months ago and up to today I have had ZERO symptoms of any STD / STI, is it safe to assume that I may not have contracted anything? Just attempting to piece everything together to see if I am required to test for the above instances. Besides those incidents I have had no other unprotected acts. If you were in my shoes what would you do?

Best regards.

Totally understand what you mean. Thank you again! I am 8 months or so past the last risk so I am well within the testing period. That you know of, are there any at home tests that can be taken for these? Thanks again.  I have learned more from you in the last hour than I have in the last week reading stuff online.

Thanks for the kind words. This testing is only for her protection nothing more. Its to keep an innocent person safe from our mistakes. Without symptoms like sores or burning while urinating, i can almost assure you your ok but almost does not cut it with a innocent party involved. So test for the below at the correct window period for her safety.
1. Herpes----3 months
2, Syphilis---6 weeks
3. Gono----7 days

Thank you again. Sorry for so many questions but it is like a breath of fresh air to speak with someone so knowledgeable. And I will not repeat the same questions as I know from reading other posts you do not like beating a dead horse.  I am now in a steady relationship. I have tested for HIV just to make sure (and I am aware oral sex is not an HIV risk, but wanted to make sure all well was.) You say no testing advised unless I am with a long term partner.  I would say that I am now in a long term relationship. Would the testing just be for her sake? She's had no actual symptoms either besides a single UTI about a month ago which was cleared up by meds.  Assuming the UTI is just a part of life and if she did not get one every time we had sex I would think it was literally just a normal UTI and not an STI/STD.

Lastly, do they sell any at home STD tests similar to Oraquick's at home HIV test?

Thank you again sir.

No testing would be advised unless you have a long term partner. Otherwise you can put this behind you.

Thank you. You seem to really know what you are talking about and help answer many posts on here. It is appreciated.  Obviously for 100% certainty testing would be done, but generally speaking, I am assuming one could go without testing for the acts described in my question.  (Never doing that again by the way)   I would really just like to be able to put this behind me and feel mentally normally again.

Hi yes it would be safe to assume you did not get anything. Very low risk activity.
