do i have an STD????? HELP!

exactly 9 days ago i gace oral sex to a man i didnt know very well, i am 18 and obviously an idiot. I have a panick disorder and an physco symatic and i am freaking over this. I have a slight sore throat but i think that may be a sinus issie becaise i also have pressure around my eyes and forhead. But i just recently aquired a mild pain in my joint where my thigh and i guess my pelvis connect? The sore throat goes away if i take 2 IBprofens and it is very mild, i dont know if this is just anxiety because i have ALOT of that. Ive talked to my mom and she said to stop worrying but i am also OCD! arent i a trip, please help me, should i go get tested?

You're probably fine, but you could have gonnorea (spelling?)- that could show up as a sore throat. It wouldn't be a bad idea to get tested- there are many free clinics that will help you out and give you condoms as well. The flavored ones are best for oral sex- no nasty latex taste. I give 'em to my kids (I'm a mom of teenagers). Obviously, it's best not to have any kind of sex until you're in a longterm, trusting relationship and have both been tested for all STD's. You can get herpes also from giving oral sex- not trying to terrify you, but you want to learn from this and not repeat the mistake. Don't beat yourself up or freak out- just go, get checked and move on with your life. Now you know that a few minutes of pleasure for a guy or you aren't wort all this stress. Good luck hun- be safe :) .

Ok, one I don't think you have an STD if u did u'd have crazy descusting symptoms if u had any at all. Most people who contract an std don't aquire symptoms. But because you didn't know the guy very well I'd go ahead and get tested just to be safe and to calm your anxiety.
