Slept with an Escort and Now I'm terrified

[BearMAP]

Hello,
My wife of 11 years and I just recently decided to separate. We have had a fantastic relationship filled with lots of love and respect for one another.  But as of recently, she is unsure if she still wants to be married. This was devastating, and after she left, I slept with an escort to numb myself. I regretted this IMMEDIATELY after. What the hell was I thinking? I'm absolutely terrified about contracting an std, and not to mention I'm a bit of a hypochondriac. I also would feel ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE if I were to pass something on to a future sexual partner.

I used a condom from the start. She gave me oral sex and we had vaginal sex (all with the condom on). At the time I thought I would be just fine since I wore a condom. But after researching and reading different posts, I have learned about HPV, genital warts, and herpes. I understand that my risk of HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and clamydia are all pretty much non-existent since I used a condom.  However, I have learned that the skin-to-skin contact can lead to genital warts or herpes. Can a doctor on here please tell me what the realistic odds of me developing warts or herpes are? Are there any other stds that I can contract even though I used a condom? She must have HPV right? Since it is so common, and she has had to have slept with countless clients, meaning the odds are that she has HPV? What if i do have HPV or the strain that causes geNita warts...Should I be concerned about using a loofah or towel when showering? Can I spread the warts to other parts of my body, like my anus? I know warts can take months to years to show up, but how long after exposure dies it take for herpes to show?

I plan on getting tested in a week (this will be two weeks after sex). Should I refrain from having sex with anyone else for months to see if warts or herpes develop? Or should I just continue with my Sexually life if the std tests all show as negative? (I know you can't test for HPV in guys, but can they test for herpes?

Sorry for all the questions. But I've only been Sexually active with two people in my life before this. And it is so out of my character to have hired an escort. So much regret...

Hello Dr. Rynne, I wanted to get your input. So two weeks after sleeping with this escort, I started to develop a noticeable itch towards the left underside of my scrotum. I thought nothing of it. After a day or so, the skin was slightly red and occasionally had a burning sensation. The area that itched was probably the size of a nickel. I saw my primary doctor and he said it was probably jock itch and told me to buy zeasorb antifungal for it. I've been using it for two weeks now (almost one month since sleeping with the escort) and it hasn't really gone away. I notice it on the whole underside of my scrotum now and still itches. I'm still using the zeasorb, but I've been reading online that jock itch doesn't typically affect the scrotum. The scrotum is only slightly red and looks a little dry. Could this be like a mild outbreak of herpes? I dont see overly noticable red patches with lesions though.

I should also note that I started using a new dove for men body wash a few days prior to when the itching began. I was thinking maybe it was the perfumes in the body wash that were bothering me so I stopped using it immediately and went with a fragrance free wash, but I still feel the itch.  Any insight would be most helpful

You should just relax there. You are getting yourself all worked up about nothing. The chances of you developing any HPV symptoms are minuscule and and in any case you can cross that bridge if you come to it.

Just relax, you had protected sex which means your not at risk for any std. HPV is not that fully understood with regards to men. To date I think there are no test for HPV test on the market for men. Do you know what skin to skin means? Anyone who touches you or with anyone who you come into contact with can transmit HPV to you. But your body eliminates majority of the infection. Very low risk for herpes.
