Risk Assesment
Recently I had a sexual encounter with a sex worker. (yes I know this was a mistake and it will not be repeated)
First Question: She gave me an unprotected had job and used a small amount of saliva mixed with lotion for lubricant - it is my understanding that HSV or HPV require skin to skin contact for transmission - not via Saliva - is this a correct understanding? In other words - I should have no risk from this?
Second - she performed oral sex briefly and I had brief vaginal intercouse - a condom was used for both and there was NO skin to skin contact - the condom did NOT break and passed a water test after the experience... What are my risks from this experience - again confirming both experiences were brief - less than a minute for each, the condom remained completly intact and there was NO skin to skin contact... Also, I washed immediatly after the experience...

Yes, I took it into account.
Thank you for the information - just to confirm are you taking into account the brief vaginal encounter as well?

Welcome to the STD forum. I can confirm the reassuring information you received on the community forum.
1) Hand jobs carry little or no STD risk, regardless of the lubricant used -- and that includes genital secretions. And for sure no risk using saliva as lubricant.
2) No STD can pass through intact latex. Even if there had been oral contact with penile skin above the condom, the STD risk would be minimal to zero. Oral sex is quite safe with respect to STDs, even without condoms.
If this is your only potential STD exposure, you do not need testing and can safely continue unprotected sex with your regular sex partner(s).
