Hello,
I recently had an encounter with a gentleman in a theater, and our genitals touched for a brief moment. I could tell that there was a bit of fluid on him that he had secreted, and upon realizing this, I stopped. Should I be concerned about HSV or the clap?

The risk is zero or close to it. I don't think you need to worry about HSV, gonorrhea (clap), or any other STD.
