I was teasing my boyfriend before by kissing his body and since it was dark accidental licked a place he ejaculated on with precum. He already is going to planned parenthood to be tested because I wont risk almost anything that could give me a std and I haven't seen any reason to believe he has one. But just to put my mind at ease I want to ask, can you get a STD from licking sperm on someone's body, no genital contact once so ever? I feel so bad we have restricted areselves to such a major degree by not having sex, oral, or anything that could be considered a sex act besides fingering and I did that.

It's probably possible to get something like herpes that way, but without active sores the risks for that are lower. I would say there is some risk of getting STIs that way, but it would be much lower than say, unprotected genital contact.

There isn't an STI risk from licking someone's skin when it's not genital (or you're not having contact with someone else's mouth).
He was licking his own semen (sperm is what is part of semen: semen is that whole fluid), so he can't get an STI from his own fluids. had it been someone else's semen, that'd be a different story.
Also, just for future reference? In case he's getting tested so you can do those other activities, that's great, but just understand that testing is only ONE part of safer sex: you'd still need to use latex barriers for STI prevention for at least six months in order to reduce your risks, espcially since a couple of the most common STIs (HPV and Herpes) can be difficult to impossible to test for in men.
