Here are some...: Being tested okay 3 months after exposure is reliable. To verify what you've felt in the throat, go and have a doc take a look at. To see if what you felt there is related with physical effect of oral penetration can be done by avoiding oral sex for 1 month and see. If obsessed to repeat oral sex, do it with less depth so to avoid injury-prone thrusts to the throat.

Globus feeling: Hello, the sensation that you may be feeling could be coming from a condition called globus pharyngitis. This is usually caused by a reflux of juices from your stomach up through your esophagus into the area around your vocal cords. This irritation occurs over a long time. See your ENT doctor where he/she will perform an endoscopy to confirm the cause of your symptoms. Good luck.
