Concerned about gonorrhea/chlamydia in throat

Hi, several months ago I had protected sex with someone I didn't really know. I had unprotected oral sex for several minutes (I am female and was performing the oral) with this person but there was no ejaculation. I was tested via vaginal swab and was negative for chlamydia and gonorrhea, but failed to think that I could have contracted something orally. I have had no symptoms in my throat, however my tonsils have been swollen slightly along either side of my neck for some time (I had them checked and my Dr. was not concerned). My question is- what are the odds that I could have contracted an STD from this encounter, and could the swollen lymph nodes be an indication? Again, there are no other symptoms. I also do not have tonsils if this makes any difference. Thank you

Hi, firstly chlamydia is not known to be passed through oral sex and with gono its very rare and if no "deep throat" oral was given, its almost zero risk. Also the body would cure itself naturally in a seven month period if you were exposed anyway. This is how it cleared up prior to antibiotics. Antibiotics only help clear it up faster. But have a throat swab if your concerned.

Thanks for the reply. If I did have it, and it was lying dormant or not showing any symptoms, would I be at risk of giving it to my new partner (male)?
