I received protected oral sex from a woman I didn't know well. We also kissed. I checked the condom after and there were no leaks. This was six days ago and for the last three days, I have a mild burning sensation on the tip of my penis. Note: I have no discharge or any other symptoms. This is causing me anxiety. She said she was clean. I do not fear that I have HIV but instead wonder if my pain, without secondary and obvious symptom, is psychosomatic. I have mild to moderate anxiety and I have guilt regarding this sexual encounter. More and more I grow irrationally convinced that I have somehow(almost impossibly) contracted gonorrhea or chlamydia. I am obsessively checking my penis and touching it out of discomfort. An STI test will definitely put my mind at ease but until I can get one that will have a degree of accuracy I need reassurance from a professional. Thank you

As you are experiencing symptoms we do recommend that you get tested (see When to test). The burning sensation you have noticed may be psychosomatic but it is a change so testing is a good idea.

You said that you are worried about Gonorrhea and Chlamydia but keep in mind, we do not see these being passed through protected oral sex.

You also said that you have mild to moderate anxiety so you may like to check out our page on “Worry and anxiety”.
