Need some advice

Two weeks ago I had a sexual experience with another man, my first and only not that that matters, and we engaged in unprotected oral sex, and I allowed him to penetrate me anally while wearing a condom.

Today, I went to the county health deparment and the nurse practicioner didn't see anything she considered even suspicious for STDs on my genitals or lips.  They also had me provide a urine sample to test for gonorehea and chlamydia.  Lastly, the drew blood to test for syphilis specifically an FTA-ABS.  I'm supposed to get the results in two or three days.

Can anyone help regarding whether I should feel relieved and leave this matter alone or should I retest in a few weeks.  Also, I know I need to test for HIV in another ten weeks.

Thanks....
