HIV/STI anxiety

Hi, a few weeks ago I had oral sex with an escort (stupid thing to do). I have been recently feeling very guilty about it and some mild symptoms seemed to follow this guilt. I know all about the effects and symptoms and I haven't experienced any rash, fever, fatigue and so on. All I had was a mild soar throat which lasted about 4 days, and now its almost completely cured. I know that the only way to know for sure is to get tested, and thats why i'm going next monday. I just wanted to know if anyone had some similar experiences or if you have any thoughts. Thanks

I did the same thing. Next morning throat was very sore and red, Uvula was swollen.
Went to Doctor and had throat culture which is negative.
He gave me Zithromycin though and a week later it is mostly gone.  I think it could be yeast but  she yeast usually has a bad smell or taste. She couldn't have been cleaner.
She isn't a true pro but a single mom picking up some cash, not that it matters.
i had this once before with a woman but again, negative and it went away. The doctor says it could be a virus too.

Oral sex isn't a risk when it comes to HIV. about other stds I am not certain, I think for HPV, not sure about others though.
