What Could Flu Like Symptoms With Nausea Post Protected Sex Indicate?

So I recently had protected sex with my parter and instantly began to feel nauseous afterwards. The next day I began to feel flu like symptoms and joint pain. This is not the first time I get these symptoms, I also experienced them with my previous partner every time we finished having protected sex. Should I be concerned? I regularly get tested for any transmitted diseases, but I find it a bit strange and wonder if these symptoms are normal.
