Stupid mistake!

I'm a 21 year old heterosexual male who could possibly made the biggest mistake of his life recently. About 7 weeks ago, I performed oral sex on a male who STD status was totally unknown (everything looked clean at the time). Two and a half weeks after exposure, I got tested for all STDs including HIV and came back negative. Since then, I have had the following "symptoms," although not all at the same time:
-electric feeling in hands and feet
-warm feeling periodically in right leg
-seemingly increased floaters in sight
-very small red, itchy rash on left hand and left side of lips
-bloodshot eyelids

I have not had any fever or lethargy except as a result of little appetite due to anxiety and constant worry. Are these signs that I have something I need to be worried about? Thank you so much...

3 months Hiv, 6 weeks for a great indication of status.  3 to 5 days for gono and chlamydia, 6 weeks for syhilis 3 to 4 months herpes.

The risk you had is really to low for testing, unless symptoms occur.

this was incredibly low risk for you. we don't even recommend any testing from oral sex unless you have symptoms.  most of your std testing was done too earlya nd unless you had oral swabbing, it wasn't done correctly anyways.

none of the symptoms you are worrying about are std related.  follow up on them with your provider as needed.
