To answer your closing question directly, no:  if somehow I were in your situation I would not be tested for anything. And no, you should not be worried. That said, of course you are free to be tested if you wish:  we understand that a negative lab test sometimes is more reassuring than professional advice, no matter how expert. (We don't take it personally!) In that case, you can have a valid urine and throat swab tests for gonorrhea and chlamydia any time you wish (they're valid any time more than 3-4 days after exposure) and blood tests for HIV and syphilis at 6 weeks. But truly, you don't need them -- I raise the possibility strictly if you need it for reassurance, not for actual risk.

As for sore throat the next day, it cannot have anything to do with the sexual event. No infection of any kind -- STDs rarely cause sore throat, and no infection (whether STD or common cold viruses) can start to cause symptoms in under 24 hr. 1-2 full days is the minimum. That problem had nothing to do with the sexual encounter, unless it was from anxiety over the event.

I hope this reply is helpful. Let me know if anything isn't clear.

Gonorrhea symptoms typically begin 3-5 days after exposure.---
