If you performed oral sex and he had a condom on, you would not have a chance of STD/STI transmission from this one act. There are some STDs that are spread from skin-to-skin contact, but your mouth would have needed to touch his skin on/around his genital area. Additionally, transmission is more likely (for skin-to-skin, since you said there was no ejaculation AND he wore a condom) if there is an open sore, bump or something...I doubt you would have put your mouth on either of these things.
Please know: there is no test to check for STDs and STIs in men who do not have symptoms. If a man is having a symptom (penile discharge, bump or wart, for example), these can be examined by a doctor. Otherwise, there is no "STD test" for men, unless he specifically requested a "swab test" for one specific STD, an HIV test or other specific test.
In other words, you can not go to the doctor to say "I want a test for all STDs". You can request a chlamydia, gonorrhea, HPV, HIV test...but these are all different tests.
Have you asked him specifically what tests he received?
Also, if someone were positive for an STD, it may not show up on a test as there is a "window" period that someone can be infected with an STD, and not be symptomatic or have enough of the virus in their system to show up on a test. So, in theory, a person could be tested for an STD, the test shows up negative, they do not have sex with anyone else....and they could be positive or be a carrier of that STD.

Does this make sense?
