Possible Herpes Infection?

I'm a 20 year old male and 5 days ago I had protected sex with a stranger at a party, but I also gave and received unprotected oral sex from the girl.  The next morning I awoke with a sore throat.  I thought it was just a cold or allergies so I took some allegra d and since my throat has cleared up a little bit.  But since second day after intercourse I feel a mild occasional itch on my genital area or on my scrotum, not on the penis.  I'm also feeling a little more fatigued than usual and have sore lower muscles below my belly button but above my hips on my right and left sides.  I also feel a slight mild back pain on the back of both my hips.  I played football though a couple days ago and my legs are sore from sprinting and maybe that's why my lower muscles on my belly are sore. Anyone think this could be herpes?

My sore throat still hasn't gone away and now I have a big blister in the back of my throat and am starting develop white dots.  I was thinking it could be strep throat, but now I have developed two blisters each on seperate sides of my chin and am starting to develop one above my lip.

Okay sorry, i'm just very paranoid haha. And also this morning I awoke with a small white lesion on the inside of my cheek, is that any sign for concern?

no std causes a sore throat the next day.

stop looking at your lips like this! you are noticing normal things.

No I haven't ever been tested for herpes.  And no I haven't had my gardasil shots.  Could it possibly be hpv? Could it cause a sore throat the next day? And also today I noticed little white bumps on my lips when I spread them out and look closely in clusters in three different spots on my upper lip.

have you ever been tested for herpes before to know your status?

do your symptoms sound like herpes? no they do not.

always protect yourself in the future and only give and receive protected oral sex too. even though over all the risk of std's from oral is low, it's not safe sex and should always be protected !

since you are 20, have you had your gardasil shots yet for hpv too?
