I am worried
I had 8 days before a protected vaginal sex with a girl I knew from a night club. The act ended with me ejaculating in her with the condom intact on me.
We were talking and I forgot for to take out the candom from me. After around 10 min, I put on my underwear and the condom was still there. Around may be 5 or 10 min later, I remember I didn't take out the condom, so I do it and I don't change my underwear and sleep the whole night with it :((
It has been one week and I've been very worried and anxious. Did I take a risk? I mean, any virus could have stayed on the candom, transmitted to my underwear and then to me!
I seem to have a small burning sensation in the head of my penis but inside the urethra in a single point. It does not burn when I urinate. I have been urinating a lot in the past week may be just to check if it hurts or not??
I hope I'll get an answer that could help calm my anxiety. Is there a way I could verify?
Thank you.

HIV dies rapidly in the air.
Thank you for answering my questions. I read the notice only moments after I posted it.
I am sorry I won't get further comments. My question was in another way if such viruses could live at the open air.
Anyway, it was very kind from you to give an answer despite the fact that I choosed the wrong forum.

Please see the notice at the top of this forum: "For questions about HIV prevention, or if you have general questions about safe sex (e.g., condoms, how to protect yourself from HIV and STDs), please visit the HIV Prevention and Safe Sex Forum."
Therefore, only a brief response. The risk of STDs does not increase because a condom is left in place for a few minutes, or through contact with your own underwear, even if a partner's genital secretions got into the underwear from the condom. You are not at significant STD risk, and my guess is that the "small burning sensation" is just heightened awareness because of anxiety. Of course see a provider for personal health care if you remain concerned or if you develop more obvious symptoms of STD, such as sores or blisters of the penis or abnormal discharge from the penis.
I won't have any further comments.
