What are the risks of STIs from receiving brief unprotected oral?

I was at a massage parlour and unexpectedly received oral for no more than 3-5 seconds. My penis was lubricated as well. How likely are the chances of contacting an STI?

Although the risk is really low, oral sex exposes you to gonorrhea, syphilis and herpes. You should test as follows:

-3 weeks after the encounter, for gonorrhea.
-6 weeks after the encounter, for syphilis.
-3 months after the encounter, for herpes.

All the best.
