Unprotected Oral, Protected Anal

Hi there,

On saturday (two days ago) I let my desires take the better of me and I arranged a meeting with a man off the internet (not the smartest thing I know and I'm now regretting it). I ended up going over to his and we ended up both giving and reciving unprotected oral sex and had protected anal. I had constantly asked about his sexual history and current health status before we met and he said that he had been tested recently and had no history of stds. However this being the internet I still was a bit apprehensive. I am terrified of stds in the first place and wish I had not gone through with it but thats all in hindsight.

I know that the risks of unprotected oral are herpes, gonorrhea, chlamida and HIV and I am scared I may have picked one of them up. I understand that I have to wait at least 2 weeks before I can get checked but I am really anxious with serveral symptoms that have appeared:

Today I my throat started feeling rather sore and tight, my tongue appears to look like a one undergoing geographic tongue and I experienced some headaches along with some nausea. Also there are some red markings around my penis but I think that they could be friction burns as they are not bumps or sores. I was wondering if 2 days is long enough for oral gonorrhea to show up without any other symptoms? Or could it be an indication of a possible herpes infection this soon? Or am I just being too paranoid that im thinking that I have these things? I am working myself into such a state that any reassurance would be appreciated.

I am guessing, (since I have oral herpes), that activation of the virus occurs at the same time as a fever, but doesn't appear after the fever.  Sores usally last one week.  

Also, hepes usally start as bumps turn into bundles of blisters, and they are painful to the touch and have clear puss.  They are quite obvious to identify.

Thanks for your replies, I've had a look into strep throat symptoms and that might be what I have. Its calmed me down a bit at least and I plan to get tested in a few weeks to hopefully reassure myself. Just one last question, there was a chance it was herpes would the sores come before the fever or the other way around?

Unprotected oral is a risk for Gonorrhea, HSV, Syphilis not HIV or chlamydia.
You had protected anal so no worries there.

Stress and anxiety can cause a lot or all or unwarrented symptoms. try to relax. If you are worried about catching an STD from the oral the you can test for gono at 7 day post, HSV 4 moonths  post and Syphilis 6-8 weeks post. Please keep in mind oral is a low risk exposure

So the risk that you should worry for unprotected oral are herpes, gonorrhea, syphilis.   But the risks are low.   Protected anal -- (again, syphilis, HPV,gential herpes).  No risk for gono, hiv, chlamydia, hep B.  

Sore throat, well of course makes sense, when you give oral, but usally you don't get an STD from that just strep, or another non-std related pathogen.   Its hard to get oral gonorrhea.   First your partner would have to have it, and well he said he didn't so, people don't lie about these things, (what they do lie about is the number of partners they've been with).  

You can test for oral gonorrhea in 1 week, syphilis at 6 weeks, and herpes at 4 month.
