Should I be concerned?

I recently left my long term relationship and became intimate with my second partner-- a woman who is very open about having many casual partners.

We had protected intercourse, but I gave unprotected oral sex--I suppose I was still in boyfriend mode and wasn't thinking straight. Anyhow, after I left that night I became really fatigued and went straight to bed. This fatigue followed me the next two and half days. There was a chill, joint pain, sore throat--but no cough, and little nausea.

I recently found out that when this woman claimed to be "very safe" she meant that she hasn't had an std check up in several years and the only medical care she gets in an annual gynecological exam. Apparently in the single life world, "safe sex" means creating a perfect bacterial storm for every possible std. So I can only assume that this woman from the time between std checks and the number of partners, is carrying around several dozen stis asymptotically.

Lucky for me, that's not the case.

Symptoms:

Penis head sometimes tingles
Cloudy urine,
Slight pain and discomfort when peeing
No pain w/ erections/ ejaculations.

Fatigue (but when skidding around topic with health care industry father, he said that he was feeling the same way the past week. Also, the fatigue began within 4 hours of sex)

Sore throat
Dry lips (a chronic winter problem)
A slightly painful to touch small red bump on my penis shaft.--yesterday it looked identical to one of the pearly penile papules that were around it. This one is slightly painful to touch but only on a scale say 2 out of 10. It's inflamed and red, but no blister on top--not change in 12 hours.

General itching around genitals...but this is three days after shaving.

What do you think it could be?

Again condom for intercourse, but unprotected oral sex.

Your very wrong about assuming that she has STD's. She used a condom with you, condoms prevent STD's and being very safe is using condoms.

Nothing you did nor your symptoms make me think you have a STD. See a Dr if concerned.

Thanks for input. I think I was unfair to judge her as well...especially seeing how my "symptoms' are almost all gone. I really appreciate your input. Thanks.
