STD risk from saliva in condom

Is there concern for STD is a masseuse applied the condom with her mouth, specifically if the head of the penis might have been uncovered in the front of the mouth for a few seconds or if saliva got inside the condom? I’ve read (and re-read) the forums, but this specific circumstance doesn’t seem to have come up.

Based on what I’ve seen here, I expect the answer is “ don’t worry, no risk”, but one wants to be sure.

If the head was in front of the person's mouth for a few seconds, there is no risk. STDs aren't airborne. (If I'm reading this correctly, you want to know the risks if the masseuse was breathing on the head of your penis for a few seconds. Let me know if that's incorrect.)

Saliva doesn't transmit STDs, either. To spread STDs via the mouth, you'd have to have direct contact with either a herpes sore or a syphilis sore, or your penis would have to come into contact with someone's throat, where gonorrhea would live if someone is infected orally. (It's possible to get gonorrhea from oral without deep throating, because the penis typically goes pretty far into the mouth even without deep throating.)

A brief introduction of saliva wouldn't transmit any STD, and it's unlikely that any got inside the condom anyway.
