What Are Symptoms Of STD?
Question: Male, age 42,11 stone. Last Thursday (9 days ago) I visited a massage parlour and had protected vaginal sex plus I performed cunninlingus on the girl. On Saturday I played squash and got cramp, which I think is unrelated because I have had it before. On Monday I visited a genuine Thai spa where I had a 1.5 hr Thai massage with oils but also stretching of my legs etc (which was a little uncomfortable but not particularly painful). About 15 mins later I felt a bit woozy and shivery. For a couple of days I felt cold but with occasional hot flush. Since then I have been felling on and off light headed and going hot and cold. I don't know if I might have got an STD from the Thursday or the genuine massage did not agree with me (but I would have thought that would have cleared up by now) or it is just some sort of bug.
Brief Answer:
Throat swab culture .
Detailed Answer:
Hello there,
Thanks for writing us ,
I have gone through your query ,
As you have given cunnilingus to a girl in parlour , there are chances of getting infection from vaginal floral inhabitant organism resulting in hot flushes and cold.
Even if she is not infected with STD's the normal vaginal floral bacteria are infectious if they infiltrate throat or oral cavity( different site from normal habitant ).
since you had protected sex and no history of urethral discharge or burning micturation , chances of acquiring STD is minimal .
Try to do an throat swab to know the causative organism and get treated accordingly .
Hope helped you.
Take care.

Thank you for your reply. To put my mind at rest, this will presumably clear up easily if I get the right treatment?
Should I see my GP or a sexual health clinic? If I go to my GP then will I need to tell him the details or can I just ask for a throat swab? Is there any urgency as it can take several days to get an appointment?
Many thanks,
XXXXXXX

Yes, the infection will clearup easily with right treatment and prompt treatment.
You can either visit your GP or sexual health clinic which ever is convenient for you , since throat swab facility is available in most of the setups .
You can ask for a throat swab for culture sensitivity (for cold ), if you feel little bit uncomfortable to share your history.
There is no utter urgency , as you are having mild symptoms but with timely and proper treatment your symptoms will vanish and you can be back to normal .
