Am I at risk? Confusing information

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.

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.

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?

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.

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?

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.
