Oral Sex And Handjob From Stripper

[paranoid2death]

Straight to th point, a bunch of my friends and I got a stripper/escort to dance for us and she pushed my face down to her vagina and I licked her vagina.  There may have been some vaginal fluid, however, I had a cut on my lip.  My throat has been hurting on and off, but before this situation occurred I believe my throat hurt me consistently before.  Is there any risk of STD transmission in that situation. Next, I got a hand job from a stripper in Mexico with no condom and she used saliva.  If she had cold sores in her mouth with some traces of blood is there any risk of STD transmission?  When getting tested for STD's how long should you wait from time of exposure?

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING TIME TO ANSWER MY CONCERNS DOCTOR.

You describe virtually zero-risk exposures for any STDs.  STD transmission by hand-genital contact doesn't occur, or at least too rarely to worry about.  And performing cunnilingus is also very low risk; a theoretical chance of getting oral herpes due to HSV-2 and conceivably syphilis, but still near zerp.  Same for HIV.  (Yes, I saw your comment about the cut on your lip and your hypothetical comment about cold sores and blood in her mouth.  These make no difference in my opinion or advice.)  Your sore throat almost certainly is unrelated to all this, unless it is due to anxiety over the event.  But if you're nervous and want to be tested for STDs, it's fine with me.  You can count on negative results unless you have had other exposures.

I hope this helps.  Thanks for the thanks (below).
