What you hear from the doctor will depend entirely upon which doctor you see.
Some will tell you not to worry about it. Others may send you for a whole host of tests just to be on the safe side.
As for HSV (Herpes) there is a very good chance that you already have it as at least 60% to 70% of the population are infected.
Your chance of being infected is therefore 0.6
HPV is pretty widespread too.
HIV is very unlikely.

Although HIV is very unlikely, the stats released by MOH still show about 300 people on average tested positive every year, makes me wonder where they get infected from, the number of females testing positive are so low too. I wonder if those numbers will drop this year given the travel ban, assuming they get it overseas
