I had a protected oral and vaginal intercourse at a massage parlor in the US 10 days ago. It lasted about 2 mins. Since then I had a lot of anxiety. I got tested after sr 6 days for chlamydia and gonorrhea and it came negative. I’ve been experiencing pain during urination. I saw a doctor today and he said I have fungal infection. I’m uncircumcised. Is this an HIV symptom? Should I tested? Should I get tested for any other STI?

Welcome back to the Forum although I’m sorry you felt the need after asking Dr. Handsfield the same questions.  On this occasion I happened to randomly be assigned your questions and, having reviewed Dr. Handsfield’s answers have little to add.  Your condom protected exposures were close to no risk and your tests prove that you did not acquire gonorrhea or chlamydia.  Your risk for other STIs including HIV is virtually zero..  discomfort during urination is NOT a sign of HIV.

For completeness you might get a urinalysis performed on a urine specimen.  If there are no or few white blood cells, then you will have ruled out non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) which is the only potential cause of your symptoms.

My advice is to do your best to stop worrying and move forward without concern.  EWH
