Is my sore throat related to an STD?

[Ash400]

I just recently had oral sex, like about five to six days ago.

Yesterday I noticed that I was getting a sore throat and then when I urinate I felt pressure, almost like pain, but it didn't hurt at all, it just felt more uncomfertable when I first started to urinate. Almost like a tingly pressure, hard to discribe. Now my leg muscles are hurting a little, I dunno if it is because I drink to much soda (why I am feeling uncomfertable when I urinate) and now I am getting a sore throat, or it is realted to the oral sex I had.

I don't have insurance and was hopping to maybe get an answer.

If you didn't have unprotected sex then giving oral sex has nothing to do with your genitals. STD's do not travel through the body.

I was the one who gave oral, my sore throat has gone away because I drank lots of water and OJ, but I find that my genital area still feels odd. It doesn't burn or anything, but it just feels like pressure or a pain and it is not a really bad pain, but it feels uncomfertable.

I have an appt. at the free clinic, but it is set for Nov 19 because it is so hard to get in there :( I just hope it is not serious and then I die or something :( heh, ugh. That is kind of far sketch, but I worry heh...

Did you also receive oral?  If you didn't receive oral, then your genital symptoms are not connected to oral sex.

If you gave oral, its possible that you got an std, but its far more likely to be a cold or something.
