I don't work in the medical field and also it would be impossible to diagnose anything over the internet. At a guess I would say that you are alright. Remember that this is a guess only and I have no way to know for sure. Probably the only way that you will set your mind at ease is to get tested. I'm sure in NYC there are a lot of places where you can be tested for free.

Also I would say that smc's comment was somewhat tongue-in-cheek.

It's good to be concerned about STDs/STIs, but don't let worry over it consume you. Get checked out.
