Performed / received oral, worried about STI/STD
Hi,
I made the mistake of having a random, unprotected oral encounter with another man two days ago. I don't know the man, and while he said he was clean, I can't know for sure. It's the first time I do this and am having a very hard time right now, thinking I've contracted something.
From what I've read the risk is low, and what I'm feeling right now is due to paranoia and anxiety. But I literally cannot get out of my bed, and feel lightheaded when I do so.
The man did have some lumps on his scrotum. I don't know why I didn't stop and question it...it went so fast and by the time I thought of it, it was too late. I looked online and while it could be an STD, it could also have just been cysts on his scrotum.
I need to know, to ease my fears and calm me down, what you think the chances of me catching the STD's are. Percentages would really help. I will get tested soon, but I'm moving to a new city in a few days and may not have time for a week or two...
Sexual details: I performed oral on the man for a few minutes, and he did not ejaculate on me as I said no. He performed oral on me for only a few seconds, and I did not ejaculate at all. He did not seem to have anything around his mouth, but we did kiss. He may have touched my anus with his finger but he did not stick anything in.
Thank you...

Okay, thanks Vance. I imagine the stress of moving to another city isn't helping.
I've also read multiple reports on when I should get tested for herpes and/or HIV (even if it was low risk, just to ease my mind). Is the minimum window period 6 weeks, or is it three months?
