Do I have any STDs after having sex with a massage therapist?

a day after having sex with a massage therapist (using protection) I became ill. I had the cold with burning throat and body and I'm feeling week. It feels like fever as my ears seems to feel closed and the cold died down a bit. (It's now day 2). My throat was burning 2 days before intercourse so I figured it was a sign of the flu which is what i have, however the day for the intercourse I didn't feel i'll but started to pick up a runny nose (minor). The next day It broke out and now I'm worried I might have STDs. Is it possible for STDs to bring out my illness and start affecting my body? I'm panicking constantly even though a lot of people telling me I should be ok. I am also coughing as that same day i smoked for the first time (roughly 9 cigarettes) and consumed a lot of alcohol later that day. We had intercourse for a little over a min then she gave me a bj with the condom on until ejaculation.

you have an upper respiratory infection. they are very common this time of the year and can take a full 3 weeks to fully run their course. you were already starting to get sick before you had sex with the sex worker.

you have absolutely no reason to think that your symptoms are std related!!!!

Thanks but it's the third day and strangely enough my right ear hearing has decreased and my runny nose only happens when I bend forward. I am on antibiotics for my condition hoping that it's the flu as on the 2nd day I started using it and today the cold eased up. I'm still freaking out because there's a lot of HIV risks out there and everything I read up on is making me stressed out.

Protected sex, both oral and vaginal as well as anal intercourse, does not put you at risk. You could just be facing a run of the mill infection you coincidentally picked up.There is a bit of a risk of HPV, Herpes, and syphilis through skin contact, however, it may seem less likely to correlate with your cold/flu symptoms.
