HPV/STD concern

[sunny4ever]

Hello,

4 weeks ago I had protected (condom) vaginal intercourse with a male whose STI/STD status is unknown to me. But we did not use any protection during felatio and cunnilingus. I would appreciate if someone would answer my questions because I'm worried now.

1. Am I at risk for HPV infection after this one exposure, even if we used a condom? What are the chances of getting HPV infection this way?
2. Was I at risk of getting any STD through unprotected cunnilingus or felatio (did not swallow semen even though it was in my mouth for a few seconds)?
3. Should I get tested for any STD after this particular encounter?

Thanks in advance for all your answers. I'm so worried because these things freak me out.

You risk was very very low.  It was oral sex which is not a huge risk for contracting std's.

Thank you for your quick answer!

Well, I'm 30 so I guess it's too late for the vaccine. I understand my questions seem to be somewhat childish but the reason I'm so scared is because I never had any hpv related problems (annual PAP test results are always normal) and never had any STD. I've been in a monogamous relationship for almost 8 years. Broke up for a short period of time and now getting back together. So, I'm worried I might give something to my partner.

I did a throat swab culture about 10 days ago, although I did not have any symptoms of any infection. The result is normal. Something related to an STD would probably show up on that test I believe. Would it?

So I guess I might be blowing this whole thing out of proportion because I do have lot of regret about this encounter and don't want to risk my partner's health, or mine.

It's good to know that condoms reduce the risk of contracting hpv infection. But since I wasn't sure about all that stuff, I needed to ask. I will just hope I didn't contract it during this particular encounter. And I probably don't have to get tested for STDs "down there" because we used a condom and it didn't break. Or do I, because of the cunnilingus?

Thanks again!  I just needed some reassuring to put my mind at ease.

If you are under the age of 26? (I will have to check on that), there is a vaccine you can take to protect you against HPV.  It is a very common infection that can cause cancer, but with routine check ups, cancer can be prevented.  You get it through skin to skin contact but with protected sex your chances are not that high.

Getting an std orally is not a common occurrence.  It is generally a very very low risk. Swallowing semen or ejaculation has nothing to do with contracting std's.  It is the act.  

You do not have a high need for testing.  But if it freaks you out that much, then just go and get tested.  But keep in mind that the cancerous forms of HPV are not visible to the eye, so there is not a whole lot you can do beyond condoms and abstinence to prevent it.
