Am I at risk of STDs?

Hi. I am a female and I'm 20 yrs old. I was just wondering. I had one unprotected vaginal sex encounter with a friend of a friend (a male and who is also 20 yrs old) for a brief 1-5 minutes. No ejaculation was involved and unprotected oral sex (me sucking him) no ejaculation was involved either. Only precum was present in both scenarios.  Oh, there was alcohol involved thats why it was unprotected. I wasn't paying attention enough. I always practice safe sex. this is just the first time.

Am I at risk of STDs? If so, what STDs am I possibly exposed? Can you also put the statistics or the chances that I contract one in one encounter?

I am still going to get tested but not that soon. Thats why I just want to ask. for me to relieve my mind for a while. Thank you for the answers in advance! xx

So there was a risk as the exposure was unprotected. Your main risks were....

Chlamydia
Gonnorhea
Herpes

With lesser risks...

Hiv
Syphilis
Hepatitis

Now the last 3 is quite uncommon in hetrosexual relationships but enough time has passed to get a good conclusive result with a test.

The top 3 are common. They usually show symptoms but not always. Get tested. You are more likely to NOT catch anything than not, but worth getting a test done, purely to clear your mind.

You can get gonnorhea syphilis and herpes via oral as well, though that is even more uncommon, but still worth getting a oral swab done at the same time.

Thank you for your answer. I dont really feel any symptoms. I havent been feeling sick ever since the encounter. But i had a sore throat but was gone when i intake a cough medicine. Yes I'll still get tested. just really wanted to know other opinions so I am not worrying too much while i wait to get tested. Ill probably be tested this month. thanks again for the answer! It helped me not to worry so much about syphilis, hepatitis and HIV which I was obssessing about in the internet trying to find answers. have a good day!
Google is your worst enemy
True.

By the way i have this weird pimple like near my upper lip. Its between the nose and upper lip. it appeared when I ate too much spicy food. I searched and said spicy food can make u grow pimples near the lips. But im just scared it might be chancres. is it possible?

Its quite a lot maybe 3/4 pimples. It appeared on december 2nd but its now gone this January 5th. I went for a facial and it flattened.
