Daily Headaches STD

After a sexual worker did unprotected oral sex on me (Penetration was done with condom and did not break) I have been having slight headaches (I never had them before) that come on go during the day, sometimes I don’t have then for a week and then they come back, sometimes I just feel a pressure over the temples and sometimes it’s a pain on the back of the head, top of the head or forehead and face, I have also had pain in my hands, fingers and arms. Never had fever, never had swollen lymph nodes or rashes, tested 5 times over 10 months for HIV, last test was done at the 10th month and they all came back negative (4th Generation HIV testes in two different labs).
I have also been tested for Herpes 1, Syphilis, Hepatitis B, I wonder if I need to test for Herpes 2 separately but the only thing doctors have found so far, has to do with the liquid that comes out of my urethra:
• Diplococcus gram negative extracellular.
• Coccobacillus gram negatives.
• Coccos gram positives.
Doctor said it could be indicative of gonorrhea, but I never had urethral discharge, nonetheless the order me with doxycycline 100mg, for 20 days, which didn’t seem to have helped at all.
Another thing I remember is that a month after the unprotected contact, I had a stiff neck and a sore throat that would not go away, lasted about a month, then never came back, only the headaches remain.
I was wondering if anyone out there has had any similar symptoms and if they have discovered what it was, my only symptoms right now, after 13 months, are the slight but annoying headaches almost every day and pain in my hands.
Any info would help me out a lot.

You can rule out every disease you were tested for (I suppose you got the tests in the right time).
After so long gonorrhea is very unlikely. I think your symptoms have nothing to do with the exposure but the doctor will give you the right answer.

I was not tested for gonorrhea, actually that bothers me a lot, they just supossed I could have it...I have another appointment next thuesday and I think I will ask the doc to order me one, and one for herpes 2. I think HIV can be ruled out after 5 negative tests.

Your tests show you don't have or didn't have any of those diseases. Were you tested for gonorrhea?
The sypmtoms you talked about don't sound like STD ones and after 13 months of your exposure... I don't think it has anything to do with STD. Try to keep working with your doctors, they know much more than anyone here.
