Protected sex; unprotected oral - STD risk?

I have had a few indiscretions with high-risk women. 5 or so quick, fully protected vaginal insertions total (2 since November). During these, I am fairly certain all of the penis shaft that was inserted remained covered and I had no noticeable open sores on my penis shaft. No rips or major slippage of condoms. I have also had 10 or so fully protected oral incidents total (2 since November).  However, I have foolishly had one incident of unprotected oral, both giving and receiving, which was a little over a week ago (along with protected vaginal intercourse). After the incident, she swore she was clean, both face to face and over the phone, and asked if I wanted to see her papers. During this latest encounter, with the unprotected giving/receiving oral, I was on 500 mg clarithromycin, twice daily.  I had been on it for about 4 days.  Two days ago, I had unprotected sex with my wife, and was still on the antibiotic when I had my encounter with my wife.  I was on it for a sinus infection.  

I was also on antibiotics for the same thing (sinus) either during or immediately after my other encounter I have had since November, and that was augmentin.

At of the end of last week, I started getting lower back pain and some lower abdominal discomfort.  I have also had some testicular discomfort.  Just a general soreness, mainly in the right testicle. I don't believe I've had any discharge.  None that I can notice.  How noticeable would it be?  I keep checking during/after urination and everything seems like urine.  I dab the tip and never find wetness except for a few minutes after urination. There was a slight bit of general ache a couple times in what felt like inside the shaft, but only a couple of times. I also must admit that I doused my genitals and penis with hand sanitizer after each encounter. The urine is yellow, not discolored.  No fever, but general achyness, muscle soreness, tiredness.  I also do have IBS, and I have had some bowel irregularity and discomfort this past week too.

Should I get a full STD panel?  Or am I worrying for nothing? I don't want to ruin my life, or the life of my wife or child.  I don't want to give my wife anything.  We had unprotected sex two days ago on her insistence (it was unexpected), and now I am worrying like crazy.

And can I assume I have not given my wife anything? Safe to continue unprotected sex with her?

Low risk based on condom use and oral sex without protected is low risk.

I am stopping. Consider me stopped. I have no idea what I was thinking. What are my risks based on these encounters?

You can't assume anything. If your worried about giving anything to her then why not stop with other women?

You had a low risk encounter but for her safety just test.
Gonorrhea and chlamydia-1 week
syphilis-6 weeks
herpes-3 months
hiv-not needed based on above exposures-3 months
