Testing
Had protected (condom covered) receptive oral sex with a female that may be high risk. 17 days, no symptoms.
Have been told that the act was ALMOST NO risk, but there would be VERY small risk of HPV, Herpes-oral transfer to genital, and syphillis. No risk for HIV, etc. To be completely sure that I am clear, I wanted to establish a testing schedule. Can someone confirm this?
1. Test for HPV (none available)
2. Syphillis, conclusive at 6 weeks?
3. Herpes, conclusive at 3 months? I am at 17 days with no symptoms, so in the VERY unlikely event I have herpes it would be latent.
4. Are there any other STDs I should be concerned about.
Also, because the oral was protected, it is likely that testing is overkill, but I am a worrier.
Thoughts?

One last question, is protected oral sex likely to cause Molluscum contagiosum? To transfer Molluscum contagiosum it is usual to have a visible sore, correct?
Thanks all!
Thanks all!
