Brief Answer:
There is a risk

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
There is a risk of STD which is around50% reduced when compared to penetrative intercourse but if there are some concerns about your partner std status,it would be good to do testing. Some STD such as herpes and hpv are present on skin and this is easily transmitted even after such rubbing. other,chlamydia or gonorrhea are present in semen,vaginal fluids and these are not so easily transmitted on this type of intercourse. Wish you good health. Regards
