STD risk with stripper?

Hello,

I had multiple lap dances from a stripper 7 days ago and wondering if there was any risk and if I should go in for any testing. It doesn't look like I have any symptoms, but the anxiety and stress is killing me. The stripper was fully naked and I had shorts and a t shirt on. I'm concerned because she put my hand on her vagina and I also  ended up inserting my fingers for about probably about 10-15 seconds. A few minutes later I got up to use the bathroom and forgot to wash my hands prior to touching my penis. Later I came back to to the same stripper and received more lap dances with my clothes that stayed on however the the grinding was pretty vigorous. Am I at risk for anything?

No, there is no risk from this.

Hands do not transmit STDs, and STDs die quickly once outside the body. By the time you got to the bathroom, anything on your fingers had been exposed to air and whatever you touched (your drink, the door knob or handle, your zipper, etc.), and wouldn't have infected you.

STDs either need to enter your urethra - nothing did here - or require direct skin to skin mouth to genital/anal, or genital to genital/anal contact, which also didn't happen here.

STDs don't go through clothing, so her grinding on you is fine.

Really, you're fine.

Ok, thank you for that detailed response. I forgot to mention I did wake up with a mild sore throat in the morning and feels like it's still lingering. Would that have anything to do with my situation or is that just a coincidence?
Just a coincidence. No STD gives you symptoms that quickly. If you have anything, even strep or something, it's not from that night. Every infection has an incubation period, the time from infection to when you see symptoms. No infection works that fast.

I mean, covid is still everywhere, right? A sore throat is definitely a symptom of that. It doesn't sound like you're socially distancing. It could also be that you were in a bar - smoky? - and it irritated your throat. Or it's anxiety.

Got it. Again, thank you for the detailed response. You've put my mind at ease.
You're welcome. :) Take care, and we're here if you ever need us.
Just another quick question. I noticed a mild tingling/burn at the tip of penis. The sensation comes and goes at rest (not during urination)  No other symptoms. Not sure if this is because of my ODC/anxiety or sensitivity because of the vigorous encounter? Could something possibly transmitted based on what I described above?
This is likely your anxiety and a hyper-awareness of the area. Nothing can be transmitted through clothing or via your hands.

This could be a symptom of mild dehydration. Make sure you are drinking enough water, and lay off the caffeine and alcohol. Those are both dehydrating and very irritating to the bladder.

You had no risk for an STD.
I see. Thank you for the prompt and detailed response.
You're welcome :)
