Possible Risks from my exposures

Hello Dr. I have a few questions I would like to ask and have clarified for me as I have been very worried about stds recently. I will briefly explain my testing history and potential exposures.

The last time I had a full std check was in mid feb which was negative for all common stds (gonorrhoea, chlyamdia, syphilis, HIV) although I wasn't not tested for herpes or hep I did have a negative herpes and hep results in early october a few months prior.

1. Since my tests I have engaged in numerous unprotected oral exposures (me receiving/being sucked) with many different partners of unknown status.
2. I have had protected anal intercourse once since with no condom failure to my knowledge, and many protected vaginal intercourse but with the same partner so not worried about that one.
3. I have been the recipient of rimming many times, and have performed rimming before a few times but long time ago over a year months before my previous tests? Is this a risk for HPV which has me worried recently?
4. What std risks do I have from exposures and is the risk large? My last unprotected oral encounter was 2 weeks ago, and prior to that all encounters 1 month ago. When should I go to get tested? I might add I have no painful urination and discharge from penis. Do I have a real risk of hsv2, hep b/c, hiv? What about HPV from unprotected oral and being rimmed? I feel that i may have a wart under my scrotum.

Also I have only had protected intercourse in my life, encounters being all vaginal with anal like 5 times in total (only once since my last test).

Finally, is the oraquick hometest reliable? How accurate would it be 4-6 weeks after last exposure? I did a oraquick test in June which was negative if reliable would mean I would literally be at risk from only a couple of encounters if oral sex is even a risk as I have read its extremely low, and protected intercourse is not a risk. Sorry for long question Sir hope to hear your response soon.

thanks for the response. Just a few clarifications and this will be my last message. Is HPV serious i'm in my mid 20s and would hate to develop penile or anal cancer as I have read it can happen when you get HPV, I don't smoke/drink and am generally healthy otherwise. Furthermore, more than getting rimmed which only happened a couple of times most of the oral exposures are me receiving fellatio, i'm assuming that is also no risk for hiv and hep b/c, and only a risk for gonorrhoea, syhpilis, herpes, and HPV. Also for HPV is it rare during oral sex and mostly receiving as I rarely if ever go down on my partner.

YES, IT IS CERTAINLY A POSSIBLE RISK OF HPV INFECTION AS ORAL SEX AND SKIN TO SKIN CONTACT WOULD BE ENOUGH FOR TRANSMISSION.  I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND TESTING. DIGANOSIS WOULD EB MADE CLINICALLY IF YOU WERE TO DEVELOP WARTS.
What std risks do I have from exposures and is the risk large? My last unprotected oral encounter was 2 weeks ago, and prior to that all encounters 1 month ago. When should I go to get tested? I might add I have no painful urination and discharge from penis.
THE RISKS OF RIMMING WOULD BE THE SAME AS ORAL SEX: THROAT AND ANAL CHLAMYDIA AND GONORRHOEA, SYPHILIS, HERPES
Do I have a real risk of hsv2, hep b/c, hiv?
NO RISK OF HIV OR HEPATITIS B OR C; POSSIBLE RISK OF HERPES, HOWEVER YOU WOULD HAVE MOST LIKELY DEVELOPED SYMPTOMS BY NOW IF YOU HAD BEEN INFECTED
What about HPV from unprotected oral and being rimmed?
YES, THERE IS A POSSIBLE RISK AS MENTIONED BEFORE.
Finally, is the oraquick hometest reliable? How accurate would it be 4-6 weeks after last exposure? AS IT IS A SIMPLE ANTIBODY TEST, IT WOULD BE HIGHLY RELIABLE AND REASSUING BUT NOT CONCLUSIVE. CURRENT GUIDELINES RECOMMEND A WINDOW PERIOD OF 12 WEEKS.
