Could Cold And Sneezing Be Caused By Sexually Transmitted Diseases?

Hi. I went to a strip club a few days ago. I had the usual: dancers moving on me, some breast fondling (motorboating also), and 1 occasion of touching a dancer "down there". In a private dance, I touched her a lot, mostly on her back, legs, and breasts, but also some on the outside of her vagina. I also sucked on her nipples (no lactation). She said she was clean, and there were no outward signs of an std, but I'm wondering what I might have been able to contract with this type of contact? It has been only a few days, but I feel like I have a cold (little appetite, some nausea) but little sneezing (i had felt as if a cold were coming on the 2 days prior). I spent all day on the beach before drinking at the bars. This was my only time at a strip club. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thank you for query.the symptoms described by you are not specific to any STD.it may be due to anxiety also.The cold may be due to upper respiratory infections can occur due to weather changes also and with respiratory contact with any other person.so allay fears of STD.The symptoms of 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 as you never had any intercourse.the methods described do not spread std usually.You can get back to me for any clarifications with the photos and details.Dr Bharatesh D Basti Dermatologist and Venereologist
