Very Concerned with questions
I am a 37 yr old WM living in FL. 8 days ago I received unprotected oral sex from a sex worker and ejaculated in her mouth. Since then I have experienced sensations in my penis which can be compared to a feeling of having to urinate from time to time but not constantly. This sensation may be just my obsessing about this indiscretion and experiencing hyper-sensativity because of my worrying about what I may have contracted. I have no other symptoms..no discharge, no pain during urination at all. In addition I have also noticed a small (<1/4") patch of VERY SMALL raised bumps on the shaft of my penis but I dont know if they were there prior to this dsicretion and I am just now hyper vigilant. About 15 years ago I was diagnosed with a case of Mulluscum and this reminds me of this becuase I have NO itching or irritation at all. On to my questions...
1. Not being an exact science what are my chances of contracting an STD from this encounter from most possible to not likely and which STDs being the most likely?
2. Could these very small bumps (not even a millimeter, hard to see really) be early signs of herpes or warts or is this most likely a recurranece of mulluscum?
3. Is hypersensitivity a 'real thing'... can a person consumed with worry really manufacture sensations?
4. Having had this encounter on July 15, when should I get a first wave of tests for STDs that would allow enough time for some level of accuracy?
Thank You for any help you can give me. I am aware that some of these questions have been posed on this forum but I am simply looking for some answers for my particular situation.

Welcome to the Forum. This was a relatively low risk encounter. Oral sex is an inefficient way to transmit STDs. Of the bacterial STDs only gonorrhea and nongonococcal urethritis (NGU) are transmitted through oral sex; chlamydia is not and without an obvious sore or lesion on your partner’s mouth, the chances of syphilis and herpes is likewise tiny. Your urethral symptoms are vaguely suggestive of the symptoms of urethritis (penile infection). This can be easily evaluated by looking for signs of inflammation (white blood cells in a urine specimen collected just as you start to void or in a swab taken from the penis. Either test will be more accurate if it has been at least an hour between your last urination and specimen collections. You could go to your local STD clinic or health care provider to be tested at this time.
The bumps you describe do not sound like warts or molluscum and these are rarely transmitted by oral sex. You could have them looked at at your local STD Clinic as well.
As for your specific questions:
1. See above., All STDs are unlikely and, even if your partner was infected, most exposures to infected partners do not lead to infection.
2. Very unlikely. Again, see above.
3. Absolutely. We see a lot of this.
4. You can be tested at this time.
As I said, I think an STD is unlikely but the best way to address the possibility is a trip to your local STD clinic. They probably will be more help to you than your regular doctor. EWH

As I said, you need to be examined to make this assessment. They do not sound like warts or molluscum, these infections are rarely transmitted by oral sex, and they have appeared sooner than would be expected following your encounter. Go to the STD Clinic. EWH
Thankyou for your quick assistance. If the small bumps on my penis are most likely not warts or mulluscum what could they be? As stated they are very small, flesh colored and there is no itching at all.
Thank you again for your help.
