There was little or no risk for any of these infections. "Full panel" STD testing is not generally a good idea. The HSV blood tests are not sufficiently reliable in absence of symptoms; don't do it. And no need for others in the usual panel either. Even with truly high risk exposures, the only routinely recommended tests are gonorrhea, chlamydia (both on urine), HIV and syphilis. No others.
