Worried sick about getting HIV or STD's. Sore throat, cold symptoms

I was stupid a couple of days ago, got drunk, and ended up giving my friends friend oral sex...I learned my lesson the hard way and I will NEVER EVER EVER do it again. I'm 19 years old.
But on a side note, I'm worried about contracting STI's...I kinda have a cloudy throat...Kinda sore and it's been 3 days.
I made an appointment to get tested for tomorrow. Is that too soon.
I'm really really scared...Any suggestions about the sore throat...I accidentally swallowed semen..Does that increase my chances?

3 days may be sufficient to detect some stds. If you want some peace of mind contact the person and ask them of their status.
