unprotected sex and oral sex, would I be having symptoms for both?

[sarsee]

I'm sorry to bother you again...I recently asked questions concerning both gonorrhea and chlamydia, but i have another question this time...I have been tested for everything, from clamydia to HSV, to Syphalis and AIDS, which is good...I haven't got my results back so, I was just curious:

me and my beaux had had oral sex and penis to vagina sex, I am having a sore throat now, but it's been a week or two later, and was wondering what are the chances of me having gonorrhea of the throat, because I'm still having no symptoms at all any where else...do you think it is just me worrying and thinking i have it, or could it be the real thing?

Wouldn't I be having the symptoms elsewhere, if i did have it in my mouth? Wouldn't i have a smell or burning/itching or discharge or SOMETHING where ever else i had sex, and that my sore throat is actually cased by a sinus infection or something? I know I am freaking out about all this and just want to know the answers. I guess its the knowledge that brings perfect peace thing, lol. But I am so tired of wondering, its already been over two weeks and i just need to know, the waiting is making it hard, I guess.

Is there anything you can tell me that would help me out in this situation? Thank you so very much for your time, it's really great how you make time to help people, I can't imagine how stressful it can be. So thank you for taking the time to read my question and commenting.

Thank you so much...it really eases my mind. With all the stress of regular daily life this just adds on to all the worry. So again I thank you.

Yes, symptoms do get worse the longer you have an STD. Ok the health dept does batch testing so that is why it takes so long. And anyone is going to be worried. I was worried the 1st time I was checked for STD's.

Well oral sex is not a good way to transmit STD's, so even if he had something you would probably get it in your vagina but not guaranteed to get it in the throat. Most oral STD's do not cause symptoms so a sore throat is probably just that.

the only way that i could afford to go to the doctor was if i went to the health department and they told me it would take 2 weeks exactly to get all the results in, so I have been waiting for those two weeks to be up...a lot goes on in your mind in two weeks...but like i said before my beau said he was having burning symptoms, but it comes and goes...it doesn't get persistently worse, and when i talked to the doctor about that she said that it didn't even seem like a sign of an STD. She said that his burning would get persistently worse instead of hit and miss like its been doing.

Does this sound correct to you?

But i still worry about it, because i can't help it. Like i said i haven't any signs in my vaginal area but my throat is sore, I was just thinking that if it was gonorrhea and/or clamydia then i would be having symptoms in both places since i was exposed in both areas.

Yeah I'd call just to follow up.  They might not call for negative results.

If you had gonorrhea of the throat you probably would not show symptoms, but chances are if your boyfriend had gonorrhea you would notice as well as he would-burning or discharge.
When you get something like gonorrhea it would only affect the area which it was introduced to the body. So if you got it in the vagina it would only affect that area.

I would not worry about it and just wait for your test results. If you are clean then your throat is ok. If you did happen to have gonorrhea let the Dr know that you have had oral sex also. Because the test is different to diagnosis.

Why have you waited 2 weeks for test results? They are normally back sooner or did you go to a local health department and not a family Dr?
