Your symptom don't suggest any STD. Some of them are typical for anxiety -- and as I have said innumerable times on this forum, when a person suspects his or her own symptoms have a psychological origin, s/he usally is correct.
I don't have anything more to offer. Best wishes.
You have had pretty much accurate advice in your several posts of the same questions on the HIV and STD community forums over the past couple of days. I have little to add to those responses. A few quick replies:
Condom-protected sex markedly reduces the risk for all STDs, including herpes -- both with and without overt herpes lesions in the infected person.
Cuts on the hands are not an issue, except possibly if there are perticularly deep, large, or bloody injuries -- and such events have rarely actually been documented as actual transmission risks.
There might be some places in the world where it "illegal" for a CSW to have sex with a known STD, or that requires HIV testing. But not in most industrialized countries. In any case, any such laws are meaningless and unenforceable.
From what you say, there is little likelihood you caught an STD, and most likely it is safe for you to have sex with your regular partner. But I never guarantee someone isn't infected.

One last item.
The week following the event about 4-5 days after I got a flu (sore joints, tired, stiff neck) - no sore throat. I was initially worried it was a HIV related thing but realise that it was too soon.
Could it have been a reaction to another virus at that early stage?
there is much flu around at the moment, a few poeple at work have been sick with something that seems possibly the same type of issue.
Many thanks Doc
That's the only issue that stays in my mind - that small but unlikely possiblity of an issue however small.
I mentioned in another post that I think I've manifested some symptoms of issues - I think mainly due to anxiety caused by the event - does this happen often? (at the moment my inner thighs get hot easily - but there isn't any phsyical signs of any rash or reaction.
Time to move on do you think?
