Reused a condom

Hi all,

So I recently engaged with a sex worker and I’m freaking out a bit.  She put a condom on my penis and performed protected oral sex for 20-30 minutes.  I was drunk so told her to stop and removed the condom.  She asked if I wanted to have vaginal sex, and I stupidly agreed.  I didn’t have another condom, so I put the original one back on.  We had sex for about 10 min and stopped.  

With everything I’ve read about reusing a condom, I’m scared I exposed myself to STDs.  The condom visibly looked fine and stayed on my penis the whole time.

Any advice as to what my exposure level looks like and what tests I should do if any would be most welcome.  No symptoms, just a lot guilt.

You should carry a few condoms with you and not reuse but you will not get HIV from what you describe. as long as the head of your penis was covered, you were safe from HIV
