Could I have gotten a STD from the contact with a stripper?
Hello, on the weekend I was drunk in a strip club and received a lap dance. During that dance I was also kissing and licking her breasts. I also touched her and my penis. Afterwards that seemed like the dumbest idea I ever had.
The next day I had really strong throat pain and I was getting really hot like fever during the day. Afterwards it was already getting better in the throat but I started to have some pain while peeing and always an uncomfortable feeling on my penis, which is also getting better already, but it is still there.
But I heard that the symptons of an STD can also be really weak and not that obvious.
My fear is now that could have got an STD from her, like Gonorrhoe from her.
Is there anyone who knows something more specific about it or if my fears are justified?
Thanks for any help in advance.

I'm not an expert on other infections, but generally speaking, the incubation period (the time from infection to symptoms) isn't as fast as you saw symptoms. The incubation period for strep throat is 2-5 days, for example. It's at least 24 hours for a cold, usually up to 72 hrs.
Can you get bottled water? Juice? Sports drinks? Can you get a water pitcher with a filter? There are ways to stay hydrated. Avoid caffeine and alcohol, at least until you're hydrated. Both are very dehydrating.
STDs aren't transmitted by saliva, so that's not a concern, virus or bacteria.
I honestly don't know if anyone has studied germs in saliva on a body, and how long the rhinovirus or rotovirus or other things would live that way. That seems like it would have a lot of variables - room temp, activity, sweat, body temp, clothing, etc. I can't imagine anything could live long like that.

Alright thank you a lot for your help. That was really reassuring
I will look to stay more hydrated and hopefully it will get better that way.

Hope you feel better soon :)
You were right. It wasn't an STD. I still got antibiotics for the urinal district infection and already felt way better. Thanks for your help!
I'm glad to hear you're feeling better! Make sure to finish your antibiotics - don't stop once you're feeling better.
Urinary tract infections are no fun, and you don't want it to come back, which is what can happen if you don't finish the antibiotics.
Take care. :)

Thank you. Yes maybe I was freaking out a bit on that, but I will still visit a doctor to get it checked, just to be sure.
My water intake is actually way to low atm, because I am living i a foreign country for a month now and the tap water is full of chlorine so I drink less.
But would a virus also die if the salvia was already dry? I mean it doesn't have to be a STD, maybe it could be something else as well.

No, you can't get an STD that way.
If the saliva was dried, that means the bacteria died.
Also, no STD would give you symptoms that fast. Symptoms of an STD would take 2 days at the very minimum to show up, usually longer.
If you still have burning when you pee, get that checked. You could have an STD from a previous encounter, or perhaps you have irritation from alcohol since you were drunk. How's your water intake? Try increasing your water intake and make sure you aren't dehydrated.
