nausea and flu like symptoms after protected sex?

I had protected oral and vaginal sex with a call girl two weeks ago. No kissing. I was having seasonal allergies and then experienced a cold or flu like symptoms a few days after the encounter. Now two weeks later, I am experiencing my first-ever outbreak of hsv1 - fever blisters on my lip, along with headaches and feel like vomiting at times. I have done some research and it seems that the headaches are symptoms of fever blisters. I also read through the std and hiv forums that I was at low risk because it was protected sex. However, feeling nausea along with cold symptoms, I have been extremely worried that I have caught an std from that encounter. Please help.

Thanks for responding, Yes I went to my provider and he confirmed it was hsv1. But with all these headaches and cold symptoms I feel like I am infected with something else. Also I had some slight itching around my scrotum and around the genital area at times and once or twice i felt a slight pain when I urinate, I'm guessing that is due to the fact that I was erected those times before I calm myself down to urinate. Other than that, no other symptoms. I did take two blood test for everything before the encounter and it came back negative except hsv1. Should I take another test anyway?

were you seen by your provider for testing to confirm hsv1 orally?

this was protected oral and vaginal sex. it's doubtful that you picked up anything. Since no kissing was involved, whatever is going on orally is not from that encounter either.
