Chances of STD's from my sexual acts.
I am a 25 male in California. Until recently, I've never engaged in sexual acts. I would like to discuss two sexual acts I have had just this past week:
1) Handjob from a girl I met on okcupid, which then lead to her giving me oral sex that lasted at most, twenty seconds. All done without a condom.
2) Making out with an exotic dancer during a 30 minute VIP dance, fingering her for ten minutes (she was very wet), grinding my penis against her vagina (no penetration), and receiving multiple handjobs during the night from her. I did not wear a condom at any time.
From my naive understanding of STD's it seems that I am at most risk for herpes, both oral and genital, perhaps also gonorrhea and Chlamydia. I don't think I am at risk for HIV or other STD's but I could be wrong here.
I'd like to know 1) what are my chances of getting an STD from either event, and 2) In how many days/months should I get tested. From my understanding, many STD's don't have many symptoms, so I presume the best way to know is by getting tested.
Thank you to anyone who can answer these questions.

Getting tested is a good idea for your mental health. just get tested within the proper time periods and accept the results.
The chances of you being harmed in the long term from this event is incredibly low.

Hey dude
I'm anxious just like you. but honestly you had no risks that are worth caring about. With or without herpes it really doesn't have any effect on most peoples' lives. Really don't overthink it man.
Theoretically herpes is possible, but unless you get symptoms I wouldn't have you worry. As a matter of fact herpes testing is not even done at my hospital as part of an std test. Stay mellow bro.

Thank you for your response, but I would appreciate more reasoning in your answer. Isn't skin to skin contact one of the ways a person can get STD's such as herpes?
