Feeling Ill

Hi, I am coming here seeking some advice, perhaps reassurances. I had a contact with a CSW about 4 months ago, and right now I deeply regreting this. As far as the actual contact goes, vaginal were protected and oral was only received protected as well. As for possible fluid exchanges: kissing, and I did play with her then myself (not protected).

The current symptom started a week ago. I really hope are not ASR related. Getting a slight fever, hot flashes, nausea, a few nights waking up soaked in sweat. I can't help but keep thinking about it all the time. Don't notice any rashes at the moment, slight decrease in appetite. One thing that bothers me is the glans penis seems a bit shredding perhaps slightly infected (gonorrhea, chlamydia, bladder infections?) Need to check with the doctor on this one.

There may have been symptoms earlier during the past 4 months but nothing alarmed me about the possibilities of HIV, and frankly it's the current symptoms that bothered me the most.

I have already seen submitted my bloodwork for testing, but results aren't expected back for about 10 days.

From what I have reading, ASR symptoms generally don't show up 4 months later, right? Also, what I stupidly did would still be considered low risk, but still getting worried over this. Looking forward to any advise. Thanks.
