Depends.: If you have not had any unsafe sex since, you are at very low risk of any std causing this. You are more likely to have other causes, like a virus, inc. mono, or strep, Get checked for strep, because if you have it , and don't treat it, you are at risk of developing rheumatic fever. If you have practiced unsafe sex, then you have to worry about stds again!
