hi, i gave oral sex and received unprotected anal sex today. no fluids (as far as i know were exchanged). he pulled out before releasing. he says he does not have any stds gets tested every few months, but i'm still kind of nervous. i will never do anything like this again. Is it likely to catch any stds from this since no fluids were exchanged?

Yes!
Go get tested. Lack of ejaculation does not mean no STD passed on and the anus is the worse place for catching viruses as the skin is very fragile and during anal sex you can get small/tiny tears in the skin and get viruses passed on through them.
Never take anyones word that they are safe, go get checked out.

how long should i wait to be tested? someone told me to wait a week so that all stds would accurately show up. after the first test, how often should i get tested after that?

Yes a week can sound right but a doctor will tell you for sure with swab tests and blood tests. STD's are not to be mucked with so don't wait around either plus it is not fair to future sexual partners if you don't know.
As for future testing, usual rule of thumb is with every partner, and with a long term every 6-12 months because you never know. I go every 12 months even though I'm in a long term as I am the only one that can help myself and look after my health.
Why not help yourself in future and use condoms, it's not worth all this worry! And not using them in this day and age is asking for trouble. But word of caution if you do use condoms still keep your self up to date with your sexual health by seeing your doctor for check ups as I wrote above.

how accurate will the test be if taken after a week? in general, how long on average does it take to get the results back?

I don't know, I'm not a doctor. But a test will tell you more than getting no test at all. All tests differ from that week to a few weeks.

I know that some STD's may not show up on tests for up to six months after you've been infected. So testing after one week may not put you in the clear if everything comes back fine.
