Default Sexual Health, worried

Hello

Please could I ask for your help.
Aout 5 weeks ago I had unprotected oral sex with a guy. He didnt ejaculate in my mouth nor I in his.No risk to you when you were sucked - absolutely minimal risk, if any at all when you sucked him however after he had ejaculated into a condom I sucked him again.Again, absolutely minimal risk, if at all, to you
He assures me that he has only been with 1 other person and was safe.well, he may well be safe but please don't rely on what people say - always always take responsibility for your own health and make sure you are safe
I had a 4 week HIV test done which was negative. I was told by the GUM clinic to return at 12 weeks for a follow up test.I think the combination of an at worst a very minimal activity and a negative HIV DUO test at 28 days = you ar e HIV negative. I do understand why they wanted you back but you are HIV negative
Maybe I could accept the result more if I didn't have symptoms.. Ever since I first started to panic about the situation I have had what I can only describe as a burning throat (real panic and anxiety!!!)mate, you've had an erect penis nudging the back of your throat - that may well have stirred things up I also have aching testicles - ut don't know whether that is all in the mind too!!!well, again, you have had sex with an unknown partner and now you have symptoms - These are much more likely to be simple bacterial or physical irriation symptoms. You are not HIV positive, but an STD screen would be useful

I have no rash or fever.

What are the chances the 4 week duo test was wrong and am I worrying unnecessarily?None and yes, in that order.

Would be grateful for any advice
Forget HIV but get a routine STD screen done.

Very best, Sean
