Chances of herpes

Yesterday at 11:00 am I had a sexual encounter using a condom for oral and vaginal sex. The condom came off for about 60 seconds and then I stopped. I am a male in Ohio 35 she is a female and 30. She has one other partner. She informed me he was just tested in October for all stds and came back negative. I was paranoid and asked her to take a Ora quick test she did and it was negative. What are my chances of getting any stds from this encounter. She had been tested for Herpes years ago and was negative. I have been tested years ago and was negative as well.

She sounds very low risk, if everything you are saying is accurate, and since it was only about a minute of unprotected contact, I wouldn't worry about this at all.

Theoretically, there are risks for STDs, but practically speaking, if she's only had one other partner in her lifetime, and he tested negative, and you were only unprotected for 60 seconds, the chances of you having anything are extremely low.

Unless she has a risk factor like using needles for drug use, I wouldn't worry about this at all.

Not one other partner lifetime but this is her only partner for over a year. Sorry for confusion.
I have also found out he was not tested for hsv.
Well, that's good info to have to assess your risk, but the fact remains that you used a condom for everything, which means your risk is very low.

You had no risk for HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, trich, mycoplasma, NGU and Hep B. The only risks you had were for syphilis, HPV and herpes, and those risks are very low.

Syphilis is uncommon in the US. There is no test for HPV for men.

I'm not sure why you are so concerned about this. Your anxiety over it is definitely not in proportion with the risk.
