General STD risk after unprotected oral
Hi:
21 days ago I received unprotected oral sex from a sex worker. We kissed on the mouth also, but that was it for activity-no penetration.
This week I am visiting another city and got a sore throat, cough and sniffles. My lymph glands were slightly inflamed. It is likely that I just got something from my friend's 10 year old son--the climate was different (moister), I wasn't getting much sleep, and her son was quite sick with a very bad cough. Before I realized he was sick I had touched his hands helping him to learn guitar etc. Other friends in town seemed to be getting sick too, so probably just picked something up. I never get flu shots, H1N1 or otherwise. Symptoms lasted for 3 days. My appetite was fine, no diarrhea, no rash, head felt a bit funny but generally not headachy, didn't really have a fever--maybe a bit. My energy level for the most part was still high--only was day I felt a bit lazy. I was out and about town etc. Throat was sore but didn't hurt to swallow.
I was worried about HIV but this site seems to suggest risk is very very low and other sites indicate a rash seems to always be present.
Although the other symptoms are now fine, my testicles feel slightly tender. Not really inflamed, not in pain, just kind of more aware of them than normal. Again no sores or rashes. Almost think I might be imagining it out of fear.
When I received oral sex, the worker washed her mouth out right away, suggesting she always does this. Not sure if she used any type of mouthwash. I was concerned about semen left in her mouth from a previous client.
Plan on getting tested soon but anything to worry about?

you have an upper respiratory infection like about 1/2 of the folks around you currently have. no reason to think std as a cause.
