Brief Answer:
Wait and only get tested if you report symptoms.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for using HCM.

I am so sorry to hear about the disturbing thoughts associated with this oral sex. I will recommend that you stay calm and only consider testing if you develop any symptoms worrisome to you like a rash. Though unprotected sex exposes you to infection, oral is less concerning than vaginal and always using protection is strongly encouraged.

I hope this helps. If you need more information, please do not hesitate to ask more questions and we would gladly address them.
