Gonorrhea, chlamydia, epididimytis?

God afternoon. I received unprotected oral sex 5 days ago during a casual encounter with a somewhat anonymous person. That being said, the day after the encounter I started to feel a little discomfort in my left testicle. I also worked out, heavy lifting, the day prior and day after the encounter. The discomfort has not escalated since the first day and my testicle is not sensitive to the touch or does it appear swollen. Also, the discomfort seems to dissipate as I walk or if standing rather than sitting and if I stretch the groin area it provides relief. I have yet to have any painful/burning urination and no unexpected discharge. Should I be worried I have contracted an STD? Is it too early to tell or are these symptoms of a strain or pull? Thanks in advance for your advice.

So...yes, the tests are reliable and it is safe to assume this diagnosis is not STD related?

Yes. It would be too soon for either of those to get to epidimytis

Well, I went in for testing that day and received a epdidymitis diagnosis. Tested negative for both Chlamydia and  gonorrhea and am current on a 10 day doxycycline rx. The testing was done before treatment and close to 6 days from possible exposure. Is it safe to say the tests are reliable and that the epididymitis diagnosis is not STD related?

oral sex is low risk for std's but not no risk. hpv, ngu, hsv1, syphilis, gonorrhea and chlamydia are all risks from receiving oral sex.

you have symptoms so you need to be seen today or tomorrow and get an exam done as well as some basic urine testing done too.
