Welcome to the Forum and thanks for your questions. I'm pleased to tell you that you are in the clear and that there is no need for testing of any sort related to the exposures unless you develop penile symptoms. Here are the specifics:
1. No STIs of any sort are transmissible from rubbing your penis on your partner's breasts of rear in- no risk.
2. Condom protected sex is no risk as well. If the condom did not break and since yours appeared intact, you can be sure that it did not break since when condoms break, they break wide open.
3. Finally, there is the receipt of oral sex. There are no proven cases of HIV which have been acquired from receipt of oral sex, none at all so this is not a concern. Occasionally men can get gonorrhea or non-gonococcal urethritis from oral sex but these problems are clinically apparent and it sounds like you do not have symptoms. If you were going to develop symptoms, you would do so within a week or so of your exposure.
4. Further, statistics are also on your side- most commercial sex workers do not have STIs and even when they do, only a small proportion or UNPROTECTED exposures lead to infection. Thus even if you did not consider anything other than statistics, it would be unlikely that you would have gotten an STI of any sort form the exposures you describe.
If these were you only exposures, I would not be worried and I see no medical reason for testing. I hope these comments are helpful. EWH
