Unprotected oral

Hi guys had a brief unprotected oral sex me receiving not giving. It lasted less than a minute and wasn’t done vigorously i think it was just to lube me up for a hand job. The girl has never had sex with anyone practically she is a virgin. I was just worried about herpes but there has been no symptoms at all and it has been 3 weeks. Can i move on from this encounter? She herself by the looks of it is clean and takes care of her hygiene.

The chances of getting an STD from oral sex are much lower than vaginal or anal sex.

The risks are gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis and genital herpes type 1.

If your partner is as low risk as you think, I wouldn't worry about it at all. If she has never had sex with anyone, she is a virgin. If she has given oral sex, then she could have an oral STD and could therefore transmit it to you.

However, to correct some misconceptions - oral herpes type 1 is incredibly common everywhere. You don't need to be promiscuous to get it. You can get it from a relative who kisses you on the lips.

It has nothing to do with hygiene, cleanliness, or appearance. Most people with oral hsv1 never get symptoms. Globally, 67% of people under 50 have oral hsv1.

I'm not telling you that to scare you, but to correct your apparent stereotypes of who gets herpes and other infections.

Thank you so much AJ.

I am just worried because i’ve been reading too much from the internet. I’m really confuse on what to do next.
The first thing you need to do is stop reading crap on the internet.

Then you need to talk to your doctor about your anxiety, and treatment for it - either meds and/or therapy. Your level of anxiety for this risk is not proportionate.
