Possible Genital Herpes/STI Risk

Hi, in need of desperate help.  I am a 38yr old male. On Jan 31st, I had an encounter with a Prostitute.   I had condom-protected intercourse with her that lasted for around 3 mins, then a gap of around 15 mins  and then again had condom-protected sex. New condom each time. When having the 2nd time, she spit a significantly good amount of saliva on my penis, lubricated well with it and then covered my penis with a condom and performed intercourse.  I also noticed she had 2 adjacent discolored circle marks on her upper buttock region each measuring approximately 1/3 inch in diameter.  She also had my penis in her mouth at one point with the condom covering the penis by half.  I am now very worried about the whole experience. (A Big blunder of my life. Feeling very guilty). As a precaution against possible infections, I started taking  Ciprofloxacin 500mg (anti-biotic) twice daily starting the same day I had this experience. It’s been around 2 days taking it and planning to continue taking it for another 5 days. So my questions are:
1) What are my chances of getting Genital Herpes?
2) What are my chances of getting any other STDs
3) When do you think is the earliest possible time to have a blood test done to check for any possible STI/STDs? ( Please note I am currently on Ciprofloxacin 500mg )

Please advise.

Life360, thank you very much . I truly appreciate your response/help. Just thinking if you could also shed some light on the saliva thing, that could possibly calm my mind a little (...she spit a significantly good amount of saliva on my penis, lubricated well with it and then covered my penis with a condom and performed intercourse). Could something possible happen with this? I am planning to visit an STD Check facility here tomorrow while still being on  Ciprofloxacin 500mg (antibiotic) for all possible STDs/STIs (can't help). Even if the test results are affected by this medicine, what other remaining test results could you still think could be valid? Please  advise. Thank you.

Hi,
1. your risk for contacting herpes using a condom where no pubic mound area made, or very light non-rubbing  contact with her would be zero. If some rubbing contact was made and she did not have any vaginal sores at the time your risk would be close to zero. Either this is very low risk activity for getting herpes.
2. Since no bacteria could enter your penis you could not contract any std. The only other very low risk would be for syphilis if skin contact was made but she would need to have an open canker sore and you would need an open sore for the virus to enter.
3. Test for herpes would be 3 month post exposure but 8 weeks would be a good indicator. Test only if you have a regular partner. Test for syphilis at the 6 week mark but again only if you have a regular partner.
Using a condom for both oral and vaginal sex is almost a no risk affair.
