paranoia?

So, Friday 28.11 i was insanely drunk, went into a strip bar and ended up having sex with a sexworker, when I came to my senses about what I was doing I was outta there, but I had protected sex, received protected oral but gave unprotected oral.

Spent the next day riddled with guilt (as this person was obviously not my gf), but pretty sure I wont have caught anything...paranoia kicked in when I saw what was I think irritated tasted buds at the tip of my tongue, went to the doctor - virtually no chance ive got something...not really convinced

next day I woke up with sores at the sides of my tongue...panicked and went down to std specialist - throughly checked, probably stress, no signs of infection...bit happier

That evening, 6 days later I started to feel like I had cold/flu, woke up the next day hardly being able to swallow, like a lump in my lower throat...thinking to myself its probaly just somehting going round

Most worrying is that over the weekend I had some urgency to urinate and tingling sensation in my uretha and slight pain in testicals, have tried to tell myself its probably a combination of stress and constant self inspection (was eased with a but bottle of cranberry juice - propably all in the mind)

But..how worried should I be? can all these things be asscociated with paranoia/stress/guilt? I have read that signs of infection can be mild and passing, would I really know if I had an infection, was def protected....must be low chnace

I am most worried in case I may have given my gf something

should i just forget the whole thing? Still getting some tingling at the top of uretha...will this prob go if I just leave it alone!

Yes, but its not really dormant.  You might not have symptoms, but the infection is still active, and would still be found on a test.

You had protected everything genitally, so your genital symptoms are probably anxiety.  

The chances of you getting an oral std from giving a woman oral sex is really next to nil.  You've had an std specialist tell you it was nothing - it doesn't get much better than that.

If your symptoms persist, see your doctor.  It could be too much acid from the cranberry juice causing sores in your mouth.
