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.

There is no risk of STDs like HIV by skin to skin contact or by hand job.So you can allay fears.

There is slight possibility of transmission of herpes simplex virus (HSV) by skin to skin contact. The chances are higher if active herpes lesions was present at the time of contact. It is unlikely as it would have come to your notice.
So the chances of HSV is also almost nil.
There is no need of any STDs tests with the given description.
You can allay fears of STDs.

You can get back for any clarification.

Brief Answer:
After 3 months it is reliable.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for follow up query.

If there are no active lesions in the partner the chances of herpes is almost nil.Moreover you have not developed any lesions or symptoms.

Antibodies(IgG) to HSV may take 2-6 weeks to be formed ,in few up to 3 months .So you may get tests done after 3 months( will be accurate) if no lesions or early if lesions appear.

You can get back for any clarification.
