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.
