Good day,

I recently went to a strip club and the stripper pulled out my penis and spit on it for lubricant I don’t believe her lips made contact with my penis but the spit definitely did. Please let me know what stds I am at risk of and when I can get tested and believe the results

Welcome. Thanks for your question.

Such superficial and fleeting contact carries no risk of any STD, especially since the contact was with the woman's mouth and saliva. Even oral sex to completion (several minutes of penis in the mouth) is low risk for any STD. There is some controversy about exposure to saliva and risk of gonorrhea, but even that uncertainty involves only far more saliva exposure than possible from the event you describe. And even among the most sexually active women who perform oral sex on multiple partners, at any point in time the large majority of no oral STD. I would consider this a no risk event that does not need testing for anything. You can safely continue sex with your regular partner without putting them at risk.

I hope these comments are helpful. Let me know if anything isn't clear.
