Are these symptoms of an STDs/STIs from kissing?

Last year on 12 November I slept with someone I met and we used protection vaginal sex and we kissed numerous times. We both took a rapid test and both results were negative before sex. first week of December i started having chest & back pains, burning nose and a persistant tension headache...I got sinus medication but it did not help much. I took another rapid HIV test on 27th December which came out negative then I also did a lab COVID test (it was a mouth swab) results came back negative. today January 21. its been a month and I am still having a persistant tension headache which does not respond to pain medication, and i still have burning sensation in my nose plus chest and back pains. my doctor gave me more pain medication and GERD medication but its not helping either. im not sure if these are symptoms of any STDs out there.

You were already answered about HIV and this forum is specifically for STD's. The only STD you can really get from kissing is HSV 1 or oral herpes. And 80 percent of the population has this so it's no big deal. Technically there is a small risk for something like syphilis but it's very small and more theoretical than not. Honestly, you sound to suffer from a lot of anxiety. Take some breath. Your exposure was not risky.
