Brief Answer:
Least likely to have STD.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome to HCM.
Thank you for the query.
I can understand your concern.

In my opinion there is very less chance/ nil chances of getting STD through message. Right now there is no need to get investigated.
But if it is bothering you so much that you are finding it difficult to focus on your day to day activities, only then you can go for lab testing. And then you have to repeat it after 3 months.
If you have any confusion regarding sex with partner, you can always use condoms till you get tested.

But make sure you don't face similar situation in future.

Hope this helps.
Take care, Bye.
