Welcome to our Forum and thanks for your question. Thanks as well for your thoughtful analysis of your situation.
The exposure you describe was very low risk - most people do not have STIs and even when they do, most single exposures do not lead to transmission of infection. The azithromycin you took, while probably curative if you had chlamydia and likely (but not 100%) curative for gonorrhea and syphilis would not have prevented a positive test for gonorrhea or chlamydia 2-3 days later. Further, the symptoms you describe are not those of an STI. The timing and nature of the symptoms you describe suggest that your "hunt" for signs or symptoms is leading you to detect normal sensations which would normally go unnoticed.
I hope that this response is helpful. EWH
