Risk Assessment - Rimming?

Curious what the realistic STI risk is for the following encounter, particularly wondering about gonorrhoea/chlamydia:

I am a male, and I was rimmed by another male (who I do not really know) for approx 5 minutes, fairly "deep", no anal penetration.

I see very conflicting information online that this would range from zero-risk to a quite possible risk, any clarification would really help, thanks!

Any skin to skin std can be contracted from rimming but it is a slight chance.  Mostly this is a theoretical risk.  If you do not develop any symptoms, sores, etc. then I would not worry that you got an std from being rimmed.

Hi, for gono and chlamydia it would be zero risk and if his lips didnot make rubbing contact with your butt area, it would also be zero risk for herpes and syphilis.
