worried about STD and Hiv!!
Hi guys , I'm male 20 years
I had sex 6 times and all of them with prostitutes over this year 2014 , I don't have any symptoms since last encounter in August, I mean the last encounter was before 3 months and all of them I used condoms but all of them not mine!
they gave me the condoms !
I don't know if they expired!!!
and 3 of them gave me the condoms from box !! im so so worried that I'm HIV + or I have STD?!!!
and the syphilis will infect me even if I didn't touch the infected area ?? also herpes !!
I'm over thinking ! do I need testing? or everything fine??
do I infected with any std including HIV without symptoms???
Thanks

what does low mean ? :(
I will get tested next month because I face some problems now .. it's okay??
I'm scared that the prostitute break the condoms but not visible ?
I don't have the symptoms of syphilis? is that a good sign until now?? as well herpes ?
Do gonorrhea ans chlamydia infect the people without symptoms some times?
also some STD infect people without symptoms ??
thanks

Welcome to the forum.
In response to your closing questions: Yes, you are over thinking this! You had condom protected sex, so your risk for all STDs was very low, and it was virtually zero for HIV. If the condoms didn't break wide open, they protected you. Old or outdated condoms may break more easily, but if that doesn't happen, protection is complete.
Since you are worried, I suggest you visit a doctor or clinic for standard STD and HIV testing. The only tests recommended in this situation are a urine test for gonorrhea and chlamydia and blood tests for syphilis and HIV. You can expect all of them to be negative.
In the meantime, don't worry. This is a very low risk situation.

Herpes spreads by oral, vaginal and anal sex.
Herpes sores blister, then burst, scab and heal.
STIs are the most common cause of genital sores.
Millions of people are diagnosed with STDs in the U.S. each year.
STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.
If a condom breaks, it is always easily visible.
All STDs can occur without symptoms, but lack of symptoms makes it less likely you were infected. For total reassurance, follow my advice above about professional evaluation and testing.
Until then, it is pointless to speculate, so I won't have any more comments unless and until you have been tested.
