Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you writing in healthcaremagic.

Please you shouldn't worry because there is no risk to get HIV and STD from hand jobs.
Theoretically, HPV could be acquired this way but it is very rare if it occurs at all.
Furthermore, HIV infection is not possible without sexual intercourse (insertive sex) as well these other STDs are not transmitted by hand-genital contact.

Based on these data I think is not necessary to test for HIV and STD in your situation.

I hope my answer helps you.
Regards.
