Totally not Unclear...

Hi, i am a 25 year old female and recently engaged in a very random heavy petting session with a colleague. we were both fully clothed. however my colleague did slip his hand under my panties and started rubbing/stimulating my entire clitoris  (i was wet) but did not finger me or his finger did not enter my vagina. He never touched himself/genitalia. I didn't look for any cuts/sores/injury to his fingers. i only touched the head of his penis once with my thumb and forefinger (no fluid) and then continued to stimulate him over his undies. how risky was this episode?

I have read some of the posting and the following is never clear:

1. if he did have a cut or sore and was stimulating me, could he pass anything onto me via my clitoris?
2. how open should the cut/sore/injury be to pass anything on (sometimes u can have a cut, but its slightly open but no blood visible)
3. some website have warned against heavy petting and are contradictory when it comes to certain std transmission through digital stimulation and most say its a risk factor
4. there is almost zero to no warning against transmitting anything from finger to clitoris - what are the risks?
5. HPV on fingers? what is it? and whats the risk?

A week before this incident i had a full std test which came out negative as well as HIV. should i get tested again? i am currently in a 3 year relationship  and i dont want to be a risk to my partner after this random rendezvous.

I have to wonder if the websites you read that cautioned against heavy petting weren't religious in nature?

This was not a risk for std's. there is no reason for any testing.

yes you can contract hpv from it being under the fingernails of a partner who manually stimulates you but the risk of that is too low to worry about.  

Don't let your guilt over the situation make you think you had more risk than you really did.

Yeah i was pretty freaked out. since it was totally random and there are so many conflicting sources on the net. also i called a local health care consultant and they said an STI was definitely POSSIBLE with hand-genital. hence anxiety levels out of control. but i've been reading the Dr.'s forum as well and they are like almost 100s based on their experience that cases of  hand-genital transmission on not possible. thanks!

You never had a risk. hand to genital transmission is not possible at all. Even with open cuts or sores, this could not lead to any exposure at all. No penetration at all means no risk. You are fine. This is anxiety driving you. HPV on fingers, i have never heard of before, but it would be a cauliflower pattern. In your case, you have nothing to worry about at all.
