Brief Answer:
There is almost zero chance of u catching it

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome to Health Care Magic.

Thanks for writing.

I am Dr.Muhammad Ahmad. I have read your question completely, i understand your concern and will try to help you in best way possible.

According to your history and how events took place, in my opinion there is negligible chance of you catching an STD,

1) If she had STD she would have had a rash and people with rash don't dance in public like that.
2) You don't have any rash or any symptom.
3) Contact was minimal and no body fluids involved.

so there is theoretically almost zero chance of you catching an STD,
Test is best done after 3..4 weeks of contact though in my opinion if no fever of rash appears you don't need it.You don't have to worry.

I hope this answered your question,
if you have more please feel free to ask.

Regrads.

thank you for the detailed answer my concern comes on when there may have been skin to skin contact not necissarily genitals but any parts of the body and sweat per say i understand the whole semen and blood and vaginal secretions so my worry would be her rubbing her vagina and may sweat or secretions could have cominto contact woth my face or anything you whenor while the dance is performed in a provate cubicle with me and whether or not her vagina or legs made skin to skin contact with my stomach

Brief Answer:
There are low chances of spread

Detailed Answer:
I understand you concern.

People with STD have a rash on their body and you would have noted thag on the girl even the girl would'nt have been dancing at a place with a rash, skin to skin contact doesnt really carry STD... genitals to skin may cause it but not in people who don't have open rash on body it needs heavy viral load and bad rash to get such infection through just contact.

If that somehow reaches mouth that may cause infection but again chances are low and if no rash appears on you then there is no way that you are having an STD so untill there is no rash you don't have to worry at all there is almost no chance of you getting STD or any other worth considering infection.

Regards.

ok so my last question is well so for any sti/std there needs to be suffiecient amounts of the virus to actually infect or surface so minute amount can just die in the body correct?

Answered by Dr. Muhammad Ahmad (33 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Yes you are right in this.

Detailed Answer:
Hello..
yes the amount part is correct ... even incurable infections like AIDS and hepatitis C needs some good viral load to tranfer the disease...Do you have any symptoms or rash as yet? any inflammation itching etc?

ok and can anything change the onset if its dormant or anthing so like lifestyle habbits besides obviously going throigh that or sexual activities again ? and i kind of have like up and down tempreture it is hot here but im not sure to judge for fever there is slight sweating and some itchness on the back a partial shoulders. im not sure how to tell if it should be a concern aswell as some abdominal like i said bloating but with a slight discomfort very slight and some side pain? im not sure what to read and dont know if its stress paranoia or real ??

Answered by Dr. Muhammad Ahmad (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Dormant infections arent really common

Detailed Answer:
drinking in cosniderabely large quantity can cause pins and needles or itching this can also be caused by anxiety..telling if its fever or not is simple just use a thermometer for that. your symptoms are no specific they don't show any sort of infection.

UTI doesnt usually stay dormant from the very start yes they can go chronic after an initial flare but dormant infections are rare..dont infections dont really get activated by life style or sex life untill a new traffic of pathogen is not recieved. At the moment I see no reason for you to get concerned.

Everything looks just fine.
