stds and sex workers

I recently received oral sex of a prostitute whilst on holiday in the Dominican Republic. I came back and had to get a urine test taken for a urinary tract infection and the test was clear the second time. It has been about 3 months since my encounter is is still possible that I could have caught something although nothing showed up in the test? I have been worried sick as I have heard that I can catch hep b from receiving oral sex. Should i get tested or am i wasting my time?

See many other threads over the past 2-3 months about the (low) risk of STDs, especially HIV, from oral sex.  Also note that if you didn't develop symptoms by now, you probably didn't get infected.

Search for "STD from oral sex", "fellatio", and "STD transmission by oral sex".
