STD Testing

[franklinable]

First encounter with unprotected vaginal sex 4 weeks ago. Had very bad cold sweats, headache and nausea for about a day and a half, 3 weeks following the intercourse, but it cleared up. My doctor says these symptoms were attributed to the fact that I felt very guilty about what happened. Despite feeling perfectly fine since, my tonsils remain inflamed. Urine tests for STDs returned negative for chlaym and gohnn, and my blood sample was also negative, and it has been just over 4 weeks since exposure. Should I do any more testing? When should I? Any educated/experienced advice in this situation would be very much appreciated. Thanks

As I said, at 4 weeks my urine and blood samples came out negative, and my body feels normal now exactly one week removed from seeing my doctor. Looking for some sort of advice/guidance on where to go from here.

I had urethra discomfort a few weeks ago but my doctor said it was psychological and that it was only because mentally I was "expecting" something to be wrong and was incredibly nervous and had a lot of anxiety. Since then, I have felt healthy and fit. I had no sort of discharge whatsoever in this entire process. HIV is my only concern, one which I am terrified of. The girl had been with one guy in the last 6 months, but he had unprotected sex with 5 different girls in the 5 weeks leading up to the Wednesday that he slept with her, then I had my 8-10minute vaginal exposure with her that Saturday.

Hi, testing is only recommended with symptoms like urethra discomfort or a penal white discharge or if you have a long term partner.
