Risk assessment
8 days ago I had unprotected oral. Only last at most 1 minute. Was just to get penis erect and then a condom was used. How substantial of an STI risk do I have? No burning urination or discharge at this time. Have increased urination and just don’t feel right. I realize I have some anxiety.

The risk here is really low. Oral sex is lower risk than vaginal or anal sex, and given that it was so brief, that helps.
The risks are for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis and genital herpes type 1, if you don't already have oral herpes type 1.
If you don't get any sores, discharge, or burning with urination in a few weeks, I wouldn't worry at all.

Thank you for the response. Just couple more things I don’t think are related but will check. I have a discomfort fullness around lower abdomen, but I am also over weight and feel like my upper legs are a little swollen but don’t hurt like water weight. I haven’t read that is a symptom of anything, but thought I would check.
This is not a symptoms of any STI.
Like AJ said the risk here is so low, it is really not worth worrying over.

Thank you for the help. I will try to take my mind if if it.
So I am full 2 weeks post exposure. Still no discharge or burning urination, no sores or rashes. Still have off and on uncontrollable in my groin area, feels more like my upper legs are swollen some, tingling feeling at times in penis. Is it safe to say I can move on from this event and that most my issue seem to stem from anxiety about the incident? I don’t seem to have any of the main symptoms of anything I would be at risk for.
These are not STI symptoms, but if you are concerned, just test. It's definitely not herpes or syphilis, so just go pee in a cup and test, and move beyond this with your mind at ease.
Thank you for your response. I just think I have been trying to pay so close attention so I wouldn’t miss any symptoms that I still have off and on bouts of anxiety. Nothing that I am currently experiencing is constant and from understanding symptoms would not come and go couple that witht he fact that none of what I am feeling is really listed as symptoms I think I will just move on and count myself lucky and not put myself in the hat position again. I will try some meditation and try to get my anxiety under control. Thank you for the help
If you have an STI, you won't need to "pay so close attention" for symptoms. They are there, or they aren't. A regular look of your genitals, without a zoom camera or magnifier, will allow you to see them or feel them.
I think you can safely move on, too.
