protected w/ CSW but still got chlamydia

I have searched the forum, but still decided to post to attempt to alleviate my fears and anxiety. I had protected sex with a CSW. Afterwards, the condom was still intact, but the CSW may have been menstruating, as there was blood on the condom. I came home and was diagnosed with chlamydia after showing symptoms. Since I still contracted chlamydia while having protected sex, is there a fair chance that I may have contracted HIV or other STIs as well? I plan to get tested soon, but I'd like to hear other's thoughts in the meantime.

Thanks.

I went through your exact situation a while back. I got something while wearing a condom, my doc just gave cipro did not know what it was. But no hiv. Bacterias are a lot easier to get. Listen to Nick. No I am in trouble for something else.

I agree, it is impossible to contract chlamydia through condom-protected sex when the condom is used correctly and doesn't break. To answer your question- NO- you can't catch HIV through condom-protected sex when the condom is used correctly and doesn't break, just like you can't catch chlamydia or gonorrhea through condom-protected sex.

No Risk for HIV Infection. Ask the other questions in the STD forum as they know much more about them there.

As for HIV you are fine

Nope - tested clean about a month prior and had no other sexual contact - it was through this event. Does this indicate I have an increased chance of contracting something else?
