question on oral transmission

I wanted to ask about a situation which has been causing me some stress recently. I have received one count of unprotected oral sex in a massage parlour 10 days ago. I don't know if the person had a std. I thought this was a lower risk activity untill reading on the internet I relaized that there is a very real risk of contacting clamidia o gonnohorea in particular. I have registered for a check up (after the usual 10 day wait) but as I have started to be worried of the situation, I preventatively  bought and took a gonorrea/clamidia pack ( 400 mg  cefixime and 1000 mg azithromycin).

Everything seemed to be fine when on the 7th day for some reason I realized that I only took one of the two (i.e 200 mg) cefixime tablets. This freaked me out and I immediately started to be aware of the slightest itch in my uretra (this seems to be constant rather than connected to peeing). This is very mild but enough to be noticed. I don't have any other symptoms. Now as I am waiting for my tests I have a few questions:

1) what are the risks of contracting an std in this situation in the first place?
2) would the treatment above still had an effect (assuming I had a std in the first place) even if the full dose of cefixime wasn't taken?
3) with regards to the the itch, is this a meaningful factor or could it be psyco-somatic (I have been on the look-out for symptoms I must admit) or indeed a consequence of the medication received?

I thank you in advance for any opinions
