Hello,
Welcome back and thanks a lot for your swift follow up with details.
After reviewing the complete query with diligence let me reassure you fully that there are negligible or to say frankly no chance of any sexually transmitted infection by the episode.
To give a medical and scientific basis for the above statement:
-Your episode lasted for just few seconds which is almost non-significant in terms of spreading of any STDs.
- It requires minimum of more than few minutes for the exposure to acquire any infective agent.
- Even if the other person have any STDs and the exposure is of more than few minute then also it requires the breech in the skin for the entrance of the micro-organisms into the skin.
So getting through all the information you can make out that you had episode of just few seconds and also you do not have any cuts or sores on the genital skin making you free from possibility of any STDs.
Mild tingling sensation is not a symptom of any STD and is most commonly seen due anxiety and more attention over the genital area.
Relax and do not worry!!!
Hope the information provided would relax you. If you have any further questions, I will be happy to help.
"Wish you good health"
