Low risk for all: There are no data on this, only educated guesswork. But some risk undoubtedly exists for all STDs. But even busy STD clinics rarely see patients with STDs involving the eyes, even though there must have been millions of sexual exposures in which semen or vaginal fluids contacted persons' eyes. So the risk obviously is very low. But can't say it's zero.
