Hi everyone,
So 6 days after having unprotected oral sex with a male, (I am a male as well), I began to develop a bit of a sore throat. This went away after a day or two but I still had some red inflammation near the back of mouth, (Around the uvula and tonsils). 3 weeks after sex, I noticed a few white tonsil stone type things on my tonsils. They were really tiny. They weren't painful but I was a little scared they could be an STD. I rinsed my mouth with salt water, vinegar/honey, and hydrogen peroxide for the next 2 or 3 days, even applying the mixtures directly to the tonsil bumps with Q-tips. After this, I developed aphthous ulcers, or canker sores where the white spots were. I went to my doctor and he said it was just some canker sores due to stress and physical trauma from my attempt to get rid of them with Q-tips and home remedies. Does this sound correct or could it be an STD? It's been a week since they appeared and they are completely healed, though I still have a small tonsil stone and red inflammation. Though, there is no pain. I was terrified for a whilte thinking these could be ARS/HIV symptoms but I was told on a previous posting that uprotected oral posed no risk, and I had the guy go get tested a week after sex and he was negative. My only other symptoms are a mild headache and stomach indigestion/diarrhea that comes and goes but was kind of bad when the canker sores were present. So, my question I guess is, does this sound like an STD or just symptoms of stress that I provoked with a Q-tip and home remedies? Oh, and in the past, I've never gotten canker sores nor visible tonsil stones.
