I have a swollen throat from oral sex?

About a week and a half ago! I had given oral sex! and the next day I had a little knot appear! it is still there! but now it doesnt hurt! and it's not as big? now i just feel as if I got a cold! and sometimes i feel as if i couldnt swallow! but we also had sex and evey web site I look on it says it's a symptom of HIV! I have NO other symtoms! could your throat swell by having to much oral sex? can your throat swell from any other STD? I have an appointment to get tested, but my  doctor doesnt have another opening until 2 more weeks? could i have an STD?

It is easier to get HIV if you have herpes, but keep in mind that 1 in 4 people have genital hsv2, and less than 1% has HIV.  If it were that much easier, more would have it.

Use those condoms, but its not something to freak out over.

Wiping front to back is more to prevent e coli bacteria (in your poop) from getting into your vaginal area.  It can cause urinary tract infections,. etc., if you do.

It's never a sure thing to get an STD. If you have 1 STD it is more likely to get another STD if that person is infected with the STD.
Herpes affects the entire gential region, but the wiping part is more for hygeine and not getting anything from your anus into your vagina.

Your throat swelling is not an STD symptom.

okay the website you gave me said that havin herpes made iit easy for you 2 catch aids? and i dont understand if you are a woman and you have any std's would nt they still be able 2 spread 2 ur anal even if you have never had anal sex! cause my mother always told me when u wipe yourself you go front 2 back? so if you have herpes and you came in contact with HIV its a sure thing? how is that so? why does herpes make it easy 2 get HIV? it also did not sayin anything about your throat swelling thank you lol!!!

If a guy has gonorrhea and gets unprotected oral sex then it is possible for that person to get gonorrhea. Oral sex is a low risk activity, but you can get and give STD's from oral sex. Most oral STD's do not show symptoms, so even if you did have something chances are you would not see any signs of it.
If you never had anal sex then you can not have an anal STD.
Herpes has outbreaks, so yes you would get the symptoms of herpes and they would go away in time but then come back and it would go in cycles like that. Once as you have herpes you have it for life.

so if you have gonherrea and you let someone perform oral sex on you, then they give someone else oral sex then that person gets it! how is that possible! does it stay in ur throat? do any other STD's cause ur throat 2 swell? how would you be able 2 tell if u had an STD in ur anal area? these are jus random qustions! can u get an STD in u rectum even if you've never had ananl sex? so herpes goes away then returns? but never just stays there forever? one again thank u!

Each std is a different bacteria or virus.  Nothing turns into HIV.  You'd have to be exposed to HIV to get it.  

Think of it as strep throat turning into herpes.  It can't happen - 2 different germs, 2 different infections.

Make sense?

No, you can only get an STD if that person has the STD. STD's do not turn into something else.
As AJ said no STD would show up that soon, so please do not think you have an STD from a symptom.

OK for the herpes question - herpes sores don't hang around like that.  They last a couple of weeks, give or take, and then leave.  They recur, but they don't linger.  She really should get this checked out though.

There are really no set symptoms for early HIV - some people get some, others don't.  If they appear, it takes at least a couple of weeks.  No std, including HIV, would show the next day.  That;s why I said it sounds like you have a cold or something.  Get it checked if it lingers.

And just have to add - make sure you all are using condoms.  I used to live in Ky, and I know how it seems nothing ever happens there, but it does.

this is for one of my girlfriends! she wants 2 kno, and so would I she thinks she has herpes! when she was pregnaut @ first she had jus one mole/wart in the crease of her leg and vagina! so she got tested throughout her preg. but they said she was negative for everything! then for about 1 yr1/2 that one just stayed there so she thought it was a mole. then when she got with this guy that she has been with for the past seven months! after 3months more started 2 appear! they do not hurt her, leave they dont do anything just more starts 2 appear! than just a few weeks ago he told her he had gonherrea! so if she does have herpes and gonherrea can that turn into AIDS? I have finally convinced her 2 go to the doctor! mentally she just cant deal with it!

Its not a symptom of HIV, and I hate that sites say that.  First, HIV or STD symptoms wouldn't appear nearly that fast.

You might have a cold or flu virus.  See your doctor if its concerning you.
