What are the chances to catch HPV or Herpes just by getting scrotum(s) licked/sucked

Hello there,

I found very little about this topic. Today I had protected oral sex, but just for a moment girl did lick/sucked (not sure about sucking to be 100% honest but lets say it happened) my scrotums. It didn't last longer more than 20 - 30 seconds max. No penetrative sex occurred. So my anxiety is here and it strikes really high. Since HPV, Herpes etc. are STI that could be passed by skin-to-skin contact, I just wanted to know what are my chances to acquire some of these STIs. It was a very bad decision that I won't repeat. Please help. Peace and love.

The skin on your scrotum is thicker than the skin on your penis, so there isn't a risk from this.

I wouldn't worry at all.

Thanks for fast reply. I am not sure if it makes any difference, but before the deed however I did shave that area, maybe I iritated the skin or even created some small cuts. Im talking like 30-45 before the encounter...I hope this doesnt increase my risk - Thanks in advance...it means a lot. Peace and love
30-45 mins before*

It does not increase the chances, and if it did, I would have said that. There is no risk here, for anything.
Thank you very much for your reply - peace and love
