Brief Answer:
Not much related to STD.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I think it is too early to experience STD symptoms.
Most probably the fever and cold symptoms you were having may be related to common cold or viral infection rather than STD.
Anyway you had unprotected intercourse with a new partner you may not know we'll so you need to do an STD panel.
Get tested for STD at least 4-5 weeks post exposure.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
