Oral sex: This depends upon whether you were the donor or donee. If you had the ejaculation of semen into your mouth by performing oral sex this is an excellent way to be infected with multiple different stds, including hiv, syphilis, gonorrhea, herpes and others. Go and see a doctor with expertise in stds and get examined and tested. Good luck.

Oral Sex & Infection: The most common acute problem after oral sex is chlamydia or gonorrhea. It is too early for herpes to show up and HIV does not present this way. It is still difficult to get HIV from oral sex (notice not impossible, just difficult). It is also the end of winter and throat infections are common and this could all be coincidental. A good medical provider can test you for all of the above.
