Chances of having an STD?
So the other night I got very drunk and ended up going back with some guy (this has never happened to me before to do something like this with someone I just met). We got naked and nearly had sex, there was a fair amount of genital contact and he tried to penetrate but I stopped him before he did. I gave him a bit of a hand job and noticed the top of his penis was a bit wet.. this may have been from me or may have been from him - I'm not sure.
My question is, could I have got an STD from this? What if the wetness WAS from him and it got on my vagina? Or is it more likely it was from me and I'm just being paranoid? There's no way there was enough stimulation for him to have ejaculated.. put what about pre-cum?
What should my next steps be, if any? He seemed as if he probably had casual sex a lot if this increases my risk of catching anything. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Thank you - I hope you realise how much of a help you have been. I will go back to the clinic and see if they recommend a blood test as you advise. Honestly though, I know I've been stressing like crazy, but if it hadn't been for your input - I would feel entirely lost. :-)

Normally when there is a low risk involved, most medical experts would advise to test to eliminate the low risk factor before exposing others. The wait and see for symptoms only applies if there is no loved one involved.
Thank you I really appreciate your input. Not a lot I can do right now since the symptoms have gone and not reached the 3 month mark for a blood test. But I suppose just wait and see if anything comes back.
Am I ok to have sex with my partner since symptoms have gone?

As Grace said, just follow up with your GYN so you can be at peace. If i had a million dollars, i would bet it all in a heartbeat that your clean as a whistle.
One final question I swear then I will stop posting as think I've had all the info you can give!!
After speaking with 3 different medical professionals, they all say I would know if i had a herpes outbreak as it is really painful and obvious... so why does everything I read on the internet contradict this and say it is not at all obvious and most have mild symptoms, if any? Which is correct?

I can't get a blood test through the NHS apparently due to the fact they are expensive and misleading. I can't have a swab since only soreness remains - nothing to swab. I am just going to have to continue on hope.
Maybe I will have to end my relationship to be on the safe side? It's no more than what I deserve anyway I guess.
