should i be worried about not testing STDs immediately

Hi i’m 19 years old this year and was recently worried about getting stds, i’m planning to get tested, but am not sure which stds to test for and how exactly i should approach this issue. I’ve only had oral sex a few years ago, no other sexual acts. Should i be worried about getting an std, and let’s say i really did have an std, is it life threatening and should i be worried about it day and night. Also, is testing for HIV enough

Health Anxiety about STDs

Hi guys, i’ve recently been struggling with health anxiety related to STDs. The last time i did anything sexual was about 3 years ago, i basically received oral sex (i’m a male) back then, and didn’t really overthink anything about STDs until recently. I only received oral sex and did nothing else. I am not experiencing any symptoms and have not experienced any for the past 3 years. Just wondering if my fear of getting an STD from the sexual act last time is an irrational one since I’ve had no symptoms. Also, do you guys think i need to get tested? Or can just forget about it and move on with life
