Anxiety or Symptoms? Concerned teenager.

Hello fellow forum members. I am 19 years old and was in a faithful relationship with 1 partner for over two years. We had both only had sex with each other losing our virginity when we were both 16 to one another. We have since broken up and I was in bad shape over it and had been drinking and on MDMA after a concert one night and ended up having unprotected rough vaginal sex and also received oral sex with another 19 year old female for over 30 mins.  This is only my second sexual partner ever. I regret having done this and feel very guilty over what had happened. I wasn't thinking straight and of course after I ejaculated I had completely come to my senses over what I had just done and went into the bathroom and scrubbed and washed my genitals. I asked her after the fact if she had ever had symptoms or any STDs. She denied ever having any symptoms but I know you can truly never know unless you have test results in front of you although she seemed to be honest about it, but theres always a chance shes "asymptomatic". She has had unprotected sex with atleast 5-10 other guys which I found out after also. I have been freaking out about having possibly contracted an STD over this foolish act and have had a tingling sensation in my genital area and slight discomfort in my testicles ever since. My penis doesn't seem to feel the same and at one point I was convinced there felt like there was something inside the veins of my penis and scrotum. I got tested 2-3 days after exposure for everything but HPV and all results came back negative but I think I may have been tested too soon. I have no signs of blisters or sores around my genitals 3 weeks later but have been examining my genitals closely at found a very very tiny small raised skin colored bump on my scrotum that didn't really look like any of the pictures I've looked at for HPV but i pinched it off out of fear it bled a little and stopped quickly. I dont know whether the tingling is due to me recently shaving my pubic hairs and now they are beginning to grow back and irritate me or there is some virus/bacteria inside my genital region. I feel so dumb for having made this mistake of having unprotected sex with a girl I hardly got to know, Im smarter than that and feel disgusted with how I acted on temptation so easily, and I am worried how this one stupid decision could affect the outcome of the rest of my life especially my sexual relation. I would love to get back together with my ex-girlfriend but could never willingly infect her with any disease that I may of contracted from my mistake. I wanted to know what my chances are of actually contracting an STD here or whether I am just freaking out and anxiety are the main factor in these symptoms. It has been 3 weeks and my genitals have not been able to get off my mind and the symptoms are definitely worse whenever I begin to think about it more and more, also if I smoke marijuana I begin to feel like something isn't right down there even more so and I've never really had any paranoia with pot until after this instance. I've been doing my searching on the internet over the possible symptoms and what STDs I may have contracted and I think its making it all worse and causing me even more anxiety. Please any information would help, I am never going to have sex without a condom for the rest of my life after this unless I'm in a faithful relationship with a partner I trust, it isn't worth all this!! What are my chances I've contacted an STD during this single act of intercourse?

Single act is low risk for STD's. I will give you testing times:
Gonorrhea & Chlaymdia-1 week
Syphilis-6 weeks
HIV & Herpes-3 months

Overall I see no major risk but if it helps you then test. Don't think anything going on is STD related.

I still feel like I have real symptoms though because i feel like something doesnt feel quite right in my genital region. I almost think she is lying to me because of how convinced in my mind I had something because i feel like I have never felt a tingling like this in generally the whole area for quite some time now ever since I had sex with that girl.

She is also being quite rude about it like not telling me specifically what she was tested for just said "everything" telling be to leave her alone that I don't have anything and im blowing this all out of proportion and she was never concerned

Is it possible I may have gotten a U.T.I or something along those lines? Or should I just get tested again at 3 months if I'm that concerned or sooner if I develop major symptoms? Could my nerves really be affecting me that badly? I typically dont indulge in drinking and hardly ever do any drugs but i do smoke pot around once every 2 days and still feel the same odd tingling inside my genital region even when I haven't smoked for days just less intense or bothersome maybe because I don't think about it as much. My lower and sides of my abdomen feels strange too. Could my region be banged up and tender from the sex still? Above my penis feels puffy also, am I turning into a hypochondriac? I just feel like I have never felt like this before I had sex with that 2nd partner. Could I regret it so much it is causing these symptoms when I focus on them? Im sorry if I'm asking saying too much, I'm just a little worried..

Thank you, turns out the girl just texted me, she was screened for STDS last week and all tests came back negative. Looks like I got lucky this time and all these symptoms are probably my mind and nerves playing tricks on me. Definitely learned my lesson and will be more careful and prudent for the future! Whew..

Thanks for your quick reply. But hypothetically lets just say she was infected with an std like herpes or HPV or Chylmadia and was asymptomatic. Are the chances still low that i contracted a disease even without a condom?
