Some relief

Hello, I have been reading lots of posts on here. I don't know how you guys do it. Same questions over and over. Paranoid people. I feel paranoid myself, but I take a deep breath and think 'no need to worry until results concur'. I am up late being I can't sleep so thought I could post and see what you have to say. Sept 12, 2012 I was totally retarded and had unprotected sex. This is completely out of character for me, but anyway...Not long afterward I had some minor symptoms, sore throat, body aches, headaches. I thought immune system run down, took some nightqual and airborne. Shortly after that I began to have vaginal itching and looked into my throat to see redness and what looks like could appear to be some form of blistering. It does not burn when I urinate though. I have not ran any fever as far as I know. Although have done some sweating a little over a week ago. Had been on my period, so assumed it was hormones. I made an appointment with the clinic to get tested for everything. It has been 2 weeks and 5 days since exposure. I went in today, had urine tested-blood drawn-vaginal secretion slides. What come from today was urine looked good, but slided showed I guess bacteria of some sort. She gave me a prescription of Metronidazol 500mg. I forgot to mention the rash around my mouth that seems to be more prevalent in the mornings after I awake. I suspect nightime saliva. Anyway, she gave me the diagnosis of vaginosis. My throat seems to be more sore this evening. I am anxiously awaiting results, but this is so hard. You try not to think the worse. Just be realistic with me about what you think is going on here. Thanks...really.

I see nothing that makes me thing a STD, but testing was a wise move.

Thank you so much for your consideration in reply. I feel kinda of alone in this. I'm really sad at how I have seemed to do wrong even though I knew better. I see from your post that ur a believer, if I read your profile right.. I know God knows my weakness. Just pray for me. I can't really talk to anyone about this. I am a single Mom trying to make it through school. I lost my husband around 4 years ago and have not ever had to deal with the issue of protection before because I didn't until I was married. He was the only one I was with. Now getting back into all of this, I am so scared. I know I messed up. I just hope this is not permanent consequences of a mistake. Thanks again.
