It is unlikely that you are infected with STDs
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.
1. You had a condom on during the act, but it was about half way. Howeve, you ended up with just few moments of oral sex and there was no vaginal sex.
2. In the above case, there is very less likelyhood of any infection being transmitted during the incident.
3. Also during oral sex, there was contact between her mout and the condom covered portion of penis only, besides she did not have any mouth sores. Therefore the possibility of getting any infection like HIV or herpes is almost nil.
4. A small bump on penis which can be barely seen is unlikely to be due to herpes.
5. Please forget this incident and carry on with your life. You should not worry any more about it.
Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing back with an update.
1. She might have gone below the condom covered portion of the condom but it is to be noted that she did not have any sores in and around her mouth.
2. The slim chance is almost nil from this event and you do not have any symptoms.
3. It will be interesting to note that most adults might be herpes positive and yet do not have any information about it. Herpes matters only when there are symptoms and then treatment has to be taken.
4. Following is prevalence of herpes infection
HSV1 is found in 56-76% of general population,
HSV2 in 23-33% of general population
So in human civilization, every 2 out of 3 people are HSV 1 infected and 1 in three are having HSV 2 infection. Having an infection does not mean it will be transmitted to the other poerson. Usually only if there are sores and wounds then transmission of herpes infection takes place.
5. In the absence of any symptom, there is no serious concern.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
