Hiv/std risk

I had protected oral sex with someone unknown status. Had tested for hiv negative with combo test after 15 days. After that My doctor prescribed me full body test and lab technician was not able to draw blood and pricked me 6 times. I do not see her opening a syringe.
Now I getting shoulder pain, headache, pain around ears and ulcer on mouth floor under tongue.
Please suggest if I am at risk of any std? Can I continue with regular partner or should I get tested?

You got advice on Dec 10, so it seems you didn't believe it. Not sure why you are asking for more advice or expect anyone to keep arguing with you. Your anxiety is a mental health problem and you should see a therapist before it gets worse.

One last question pls. I am having itching in left ear from seven days, bad smell from nose, cold sores on left nose and posterier cervical lymph node raised slighlty on the left side that hurts to move neck. Doctor gave me augmentin 625 MG thrice a day but lymph node still hurts while moving neck. What it could be as my wife also start to having itchy ears from 1 day. I have got my all tests done again prior to this begins which were normal. My doctor said if I am concerned about needle prick incident than conclusive test will be done after 6 months. Thats why I am only worried. Pls suggest what it could be as I never get lymph nodes swelling in 32 yrs
Not sure why you are asking for more advice or expect anyone to keep arguing with your science fiction theories. Your HIV phobia is a mental health problem so you should see a therapist because it can get much worse.
I agree with your point that I am thinking about it but all the problems I said are not fiction. I am having swollen lymph nodes in cervical area and my wife has also start getting the same problem in her ear. I was looking for expert advise thats why came here. Just wondering why we both getting all those same problem.
You have been already advised that you didn't have a risk.  You can not acquire HIV from oral sex.  Please find the real cause of your concern. Personally, I reckon you are feeling guilty and scared that you will infect your wife, then you would have to justify that you cheated on her, is probably the REAL problem.  You are channelising that emotion in to an HIV scare.  

Think logically. No one has ever acquired the virus in that fashion,  you will not be the first one.  Read ANM's advice carefully, you didn't have a risk.  You didn't even need to test. If you are unable to think rationally seek help.  There is nothing more we can add here. Also, stop spending your nights searching up HIV and creating unnecessary issues for yourself.
Thanks for taking to time respond. I really have an appointment with psychiatrist tmrw but someone told me that once psychiatric meds starts it difficult to stop them. This is the reason my doctor told me to test so that it will ease my mind. But now stuck with needle reuse fear as it wasn't opened in front of me.
As suggested, please do consult with your psychiatrist.  Your fears are not rational, including the fear of re-used needles.  Since you did not have a risk for HIV, we are closing this thread.
