What Causes Soreness On Penis And Flu Symptoms After Having Oral Sex?

Hello Doctor, I had an unprotected oral sex with a sex worker 6 days ago.I m male, 35 years old, generally healthy. I have cough and mild flu like symptom before the incident and it is still present. I had a possible sore on the penis that time. The sex worker washed her mouth with mouthwash before and after the act. What are the tests I should take to make sure that I ve not contacted any STDs ?

Thank you for query.the chance of std transmission is very low by this act.but as there is a open sore in your penis at the time.there are very little chances of HIV coming in contact with the wound so can act as portal of entry a rare possibility.You may have to get tested for HIV depending on time since exposure Like RNA PCR if after 10 days of exposure. Herpes is another possibility if the partner has active herpes infection.if so you will manifest within 2 weeks.
The symptoms of other STD you can look for are any rash, vesicles, redness, in genitals, urethral discharge, itching or burning in area,Inguinal lymph node swellings etc.
If you have any symptoms you can consult doctor they will investigate you by local examination, urine or discharge sample lab examination,blood tests if required,biopsy if required etc.
If you do not have any symptoms you need not bother
You can get back to me for any clarifications with the details.Dr Bharatesh D Basti Dermatologist and Venereologist
