Am I at risk? Confusing information

I had a situation where I was involved in a threesome with 2 CSW's in Canada. I used a different condom for each girl and the condom did not seem to break or rip. I am scared of having contracted HIV. My urine burns when I pee. From all that I read it seems that my risk is low but aren't condoms effective? I can never get a straight answer from anyone. They say condoms are not absolutely safe. Now I am petrified.

Please advise on any thoughts you have.

Can I move on? This anxiety is causing a lot of grief. I would like to know from the experts if I can move on.

I am frightened because I feel I don't have the right information.

Does anybody have any thoughts or reassurance that I am in fact safe?

Does it change the risk if I had condom covered anal or condom covered vaginal sex?

This is all too confusing for me because they say that anal sex carries more risk.

This anxiety is killing me.

Thanks Lizzie Lou. So if the condoms seemed to be intact when I changed them, I should be protected even if I had anal sex with them with lube?

it cannot be said that condoms are 100% safe because they have the potential to rupture.  using a condom consistently and correctly will protect you from hiv.
