you've asked about this previously and received an answer.

as you were told previously,  no reason to think this is std related.

1. incubation for most stds can range from five days to even years (depending on the std).
2. Most stds like gonorrhea and chlamydia can develop symptoms a week or so, herpes in the first case of outbreaks can be two weeks or so, Syphilis in the first stage is ten days post exposure, HIV symptoms are vague because so many symptoms can be of a different nature. But you would not need to worry about HIV too much from oral sex because there isn't much of data that would say HIV can be transmitted from oral sex, both receiving and giving. To go back to your question, like the ending part of number 1, depends on the std.
3. A sore throat can be many things, from a simple, run of a mill cold to something really serious.
4. Swab tests are specific so if you need to go check it out, discuss with your doctor about it for more information.
