Maybe a weird question, but can Covid have STD like symptoms?

I know it's kinda of a strange question. I've been having swollen/painful lymph nodes. neck, armpits and groin, plus sore throat and body aches, with a slight pressure feeling in my upper torso and chest. I've had my flu shot, so I'm going for a test in a few days, since I can only do scheduled testing in my area. But I've been having groin and testicle aches recently too, which are unlikely to be covid (which I don't know whether I have yet), but it got me wondering about it. I can't find anything searching online, just a list of common symptoms. In anyone's personal experiences, has anyone had covid affect them in strange or unexpected ways like this?

    there are people who have Covid with unusual symptoms. it’s a smaller percentage of people but it’s still there. Some people get muscular aches and pains, swollen glands makes sense because with any kind of a virus that can happen because your body is trying to fight it off. most symptoms can go with more than one condition so it’s very possible that Covid symptoms can have some of the Std symptoms such as tiredness, swollen glands, pain here or there , body aches. Sore throat would be more associated with Covid than an STD. so yes, there are symptoms of coronavirus that are not on the main list of the most common symptoms. And if your test is positive, just take it easy and rest and stay home. Make sure you stay hydrated. Hope you feel better soon.
