Hello ,
I understand your concern. I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious disease specialist, answering your concern.
It is not a STD of the incident you have asked for.
Condom is good protection for STD prevention. Since you have wear a condom there is no question of STD in you.
But examination of lymph gland is necessary since it directs you for previous exposure STD.
