Sore Throat, Dry Mouth. Had Unprotected Sex. STD?

Hi,

A week ago I had unprotected sex with a female friend, but did not ejaculate. I asked her afterwards if she had been checked for STIs since her last sexual partner and she said yes, and that her results were clear (however I obviously don't know if this is true). I thought nothing of it, but then 3 days ago began to develop a sore throat, and the area around my tonsils is very red - I also have a dry mouth. I'm worried that I may have contracted HIV/AIDS although I know this is unlikely - do you consider it a risk that I may have contracted either of these?

Thank you

ENT Specialist 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for Contacting Health Care Magic
I had gone through your query, it suggests that you are suffering from oropharyngitis . Go for the proper antibiotic treatment, and antiallergic for the resolve of this disease after consulting the ENT specialist.
Did you have the oral sex to that lady, if symptoms not improved then may go for STD tests.

Thanks

Wish you good health
