The : The only way to eliminate any possiblity of contracting an std is abstinence. Std testing will provide medical and psychological reassurance that you are finel. Repeat testing 2-3 months later may also be recommended for greater accuracy.

Nearly zero: STD risk usually is low for any particular sexual exposure even with no condom. With one, virtually no risk for STDs transmitted by fluids (gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV) and low risk for those passed skin to skin (syphilis, herpes, HPV). Rather than testing after a single exposure like this, consider routine periodic testing (e.g. yearly). Best to use only 1 condom. 2+ increases risk of breakage.
