Infection outside of normal STIs?

Hello,

I just has a complete panel of STD tests recently and came back negative for HIV, Syphilis, Gonnorhea, and Chlamydia. However I tested positive for Herpes but will be getting checked again with a better test.

However, 3 weeks after the sexual encounter which promoted me to get the tests I got a sore throat. It's just a little more uncomfortable to swallow, as if my uvula is slightly swollen but its not. 5 weeks later and it's still here but the sensation comes and goes from the uncomfortable nature. Is it possible to have another STD or this came from the encounter itself? It was protected sex with unprotected oral on both sides.

Could it be thrush? Another STD? The doctor said its a slight reddening of the throat and likely to do with sinus but the antibiotics didnt work. Any info or ways to test what this is much apprecited. Thanks.

Very very low risk, I would not be concerned.

Oral on woman.

I really just want to know if I have something e.g. gonnorhea, chlamydia in the throat, or something else. I would like to figure this out as soon as possible as I am casually seeing someone and want to make sure I do not pass it on. If indeed there is an "if".

Thanks.
