Brief Answer:
No risk of STDs .

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for query. I am Dr Bharatesh D Basti answering your query.
Welcome to health care magic.
I have gone through the details.
Usually STDs like HIV are not transmitted by skin to skin contact.As there is no contact with secretions , there is least possibility of transmission of STDs.
Some STDs like herpes can be transmitted by skin to skin contact. It is possible if there are active lesions at the time of contact. So it is unlikely if you have not noticed any rashes or lesions.

You can allay fears of STDs.
You can go for STDs tests to relieve your anxiety.

You can get back for any clarification.
Thank you

I asked the dominatrix if she had any STD and she said she didn't. she also said she never has sex with clients and if anyone needs to worry it is her, I also did not see any lesions but I was unable to see because it was so close to my eye.

I once had a herpes breakout, that is why I am so worried. but your answer is putting my at ease.

I just want to make sure that from a medical prospective I did not do anything risky and can have sex with my partner without taking a test.

Brief Answer:
I do not see any risk of STDs from this act.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for follow up query.
I do not see any risk of STDs with the act.Herpes is one possibility and you already have been infected with it.There is no need to worry too as she did not have any visible active lesions.
So I do not see any risk.You can lead a normal life in my opinion.
The site of your herpes infection is not clear.
Herpes is Known for recurrence. Take precautions to prevent transmission to your partner, especially when active lesions are present.
You can get back for any clarification else please close the discussion and rate.
Thank you
