Swollen tonsils, is it caused by an std?

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hey guys

21 years old, Latino male, 6’2 210lbs

I had car sex with a girl Jan 3rd. I met her at a bar and we did use a condom. Mediocre sex only lasted 2 minutes before I called it quits because that’s how bad it was (she was very dry!)

Considering this and that the condom did not break or slipped ( I checked afterwards) what are my chances of getting something like hiv? Followed up with girl and she said she is clean and have nothing to worry about but she changed her phone number I believe so who knows.

Starting about 3 days ago my neck has been sore and I just checked myself and saw that my tonsils are swollen, both of them. With mild headaches.

Armpit Temperature is 97.2 even though I feel a little hot ( might be hypochondriac who knows lol!)

I have been keeping videos and pictures of everything I have been experiencing just in case. I want to get tested but apparently I have to wait 3 months.

Just wanted some input from someone, I’m going crazy. I have no one I can talk this to about. I know my chances are extremely low that I catched something and maybe I just have a regular cold infection.
