1 out of every 3 adults has a std. assume nothing and unless you are sure of a partner's test results, use a condom so you have much less worry :)

the odds that you contracted hsv2 from a one time encounter are very low.

we don't recommend any testing from this encounter.

no need to constantly examine your penis either like this.  put it away and only look at it if it hurts or when you are urinating so you can aim properly.

If you really need the peace of mind of testing, you need to wait until 3 months after the encounter.
