Any risk (still)

Thanks for any help. I regrettably had protected oral and vaginal intercourse with a CSW on November 5. I have had no symptoms of anything to date. Of course my mind focuses on anything as I think about being infected quite often. Although I have not thought about it as much as more time passes. I have read a lot of posts on this site and seems to feel quite comfortable that I would have noticed symptoms by now. My biggest concern would be HSV. This was the only possible exposure I have had, and I don't even know if she was infected. It was a pricy service I used. I know symptoms can be asymptomatic for a period of time, which is why I still worry. Without being able I say 100% certain, how probable is it that I could have contracted something from this one experience but just haven't had symptoms yet?  I have read that there are a lot of false positive tests for HSV and 3 months is the testing mark. That is still a long time and even then I guess a false positive is possible. Just waning some reassurance or guidance. I am married so I don't want to bring this up if I have nothing but can't stay away from my wife for another 2 months.

Thanks

If it adds any help, she was adamant about using a condom, used different condom for oral and vaginal intercourse, and there was not really any heavy grinding between us. Just basically laying on each other. She even got a towel with hot water and wiped me around my penis prior to any acts.

Hi Ford, kinda of a trickey  question. You were at low risk with protected sex but since your family is involved maybe get some testing to be sure. No one knows the exact details of what went on and who knows what touched what. I would get tested for your familes sake.
