STD risk from body rubs

Hi,

I am new to this so I will get straight to the point. I had a body rub from a massage parlor. Which including both of us being naked, her body sliding on mine.
No penetration and No oral sex. No direct Vagina/Penis contact. 99% of the rub on penis was either by hand or by chest/breast. There was a slight contact with her genitals when on my legs and maybe chest (while she was moving around me). No kissing.

This happened two weeks ago, and I believe I don't have symptoms.

What STDs am I at risk for?
Am I at risk for HIV, Hep C, Syphilis, Chlamydia..etc?

Please advise.
Thanx

Sorry, didn't realize the problem was one of terminology.  STI and STD are synonyms; the  meaning is identical.  Some people just prefer one term over the other.

I heard that there is a difference between STIs and STDs.. That's why I asked about it.
I didn't mean to be ignorant.

Welcome to the STD forum.  Initial response, only to the title of your question before reading anything else:  There is no STD risk from body rubbing.  If a bare penis (i.e. no condom) doesn't get inside someone's vagina, rectum, or mouth, generally there is no STD risk. That's why they call them STDs.

Now I have read the question itself  My reply is unchanged.  You are not at risk for any STDs and should not get tested unless you have had real STD risks.  Here is a thread that goes into the scientific reasons for this response.  Start reading with the follow-up comment dated December 14:  http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/1119533
