Oral sex

Hi. I rough deep throated a stranger and he ejaculated deep in my mouth near the tonsils. 5 days later, there were white pus on my tonsils and what looks like a small 1mm red dot/tear in the back of my throat. (wasn't there 1-3 days back) There isn't any pain but have slight bad breathe. Should i get tested/see a doctor? Thanks.

Despite the information that circulates on the Internet, oral sex is actually generally pretty safe, and oral sex is usually an inefficient route for transmission.  Unless your partner was displaying any symptoms (discharge, sores, lesions), you probably have no risk for herpes, syphilis, or hpv.  The STI that you would most be at risk at is gonorrhea, which can lodge in the throat.  Most cases go away on their own, but you can have an oral swab done if you have  a continual sore throat.

The encounter was in the dark and I couldn't see anything. So what i'm getting is, even with the ejaculate, I shouldn't need a test unless the white pus on the tonsils persists or recur for a long time?

Thank you everyone for the replies.
I would get checked.  The only two times I have gotten an std was from oral sex.  First it was oral gonorrhea,  and second time oral warts (hpv).  This second one is serious and I regret being so careless.
It seems that Isle39 was in a very unlucky minority.   HPV is transmitted orally, but it's almost always asymptomatic and clears up on its own (in fact, most of us have been exposed to HPV at some point and have probably caught it without even knowing it).

There is risk of getting oral gibrrhea, syphilis,  herpes or hpv as well as other infections from this encounter. I would suggest limiting unprotected oral sex to partners that you know well.
