Brief Answer:
Not a cause for concern. Needs no intervention.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

The mentioned acts would not give you Hepatitis B, C, HIV or any other STD. So, you need not worry.

In any case, since it is better to be safe than sorry, is it not better to avoid any activity that could be considered risky?

Brief Answer:
Fully reliable.

Thanks for writing back. I do not think that there is any need to get tested. However, if you want, you can rely fully on the test done at an interval of 4 months.
