CSW exposure

Hi there, I had an exposure to a CSW over three Months ago - I was very drunk and cannot remember exactly what happened except it started with oral with a Condom.  Have been freaking out since then - after 5 weeks I got a red throat, my head was spinning like it was in a washing machine and glands felt like they are throbbing in my neck.  Convinced I had HIV my tongue then went white, I couldn't swallow, etc and finally tested negative for HiV 9 weeks after.  Now paranoid that I caught something else, I have immense guilt as my wife is pregnant with our first child and can't believe what I did.  I have had no symptoms on my or is but now feel like my lymph nodes on right groin are throbbing and inflated.  Has anyone had a similar reaction to an std scare?  I know I need to man up and get tested but am just so worried!

I think it's your anxiety playing up from what has happened, and with your wife being pregnant.
You don't get a sore mouth from receiving oral sex, and you have no symptoms.
You should go do a full STD check for your peace of mind and move on knowing that you are already fine.

What about the throbbing in the groin region?  Do you think that that can be all in my head?!
Have you been doing anything else that maybe causing the throbbing? Gym work, dancing at a bar, general exercise?
