Gonorrhea/HIV correlation

I'm a male, who recently had unprotected oral (no orgasm) with a CSW.

We used condom for vaginal intercourse.  However, as I was unable to maintain an erection (alcohol), I was only able to partially enter, if at all (cannot remember 100%).

My concern stems from two points:
1. Condom slippage occurred due to inability to maintain erection
2. I have symptoms of Gonorhhea (have been tested - am waiting for results)

It's been only a few days, so I'll need to wait the 6 wks for the HIV testing.

QUESTION: If I in fact have acquired Gonorrhea, does that correlate to an increased chance of having caught HIV?

Please help

Can't really give you a number or anything like that. It does increase the risk...by how much I don't know.

I received unprotected oral sex.

I did not have any STD prior to this encounter.

You would not catch gonorrhea from protected sex. Did you receive unprotected oral sex?

Having a STD would raise the risk, but you had no risk to begin with.
