Confused and nervous

I had various sexual encounters  with CSWs . 4-5 times unprotected oral and about 10 times protected
vaginal. Never I saw condom breakage or slippage. everytime semen collected neatly at tip.
But now I ve  started getting nervous about the dreaded disease.
I am concerned about unprotected oral encounters.
Till now I thought that using a condom with no slippage or breakage is sufficient for prevention.
but i read somewhere on net that condoms have "pores" through through which hiv can pass and that
has drove me to nuts. I am planning to get tested after 12 weeks of my recent encounter.
I am fad up of living in constantly in fear and this is affecting my daily chores and job.
AS far symptoms are concerned, I got pharyngitis and armpits swollen for about 20 days and small hives
which irritated very much.I am a smoker and  I assume pharyngitis due to smoking like hell i did.

1. What are my chances of getting a negative result ?

2. If no breakage or slippage occurs, can one be still infected ?

3. Once or twice  with a CSW i got oral unprotected and i did not wash my penis and straightaway put on condom
and entered her vagina. Are there chances that saliva on my pee hole could have entered inside and created
infection , during the thrusts during the act.

4. To add to my woes, i read on net that all condoms ,even international brands have "pores"  through which
hiv can pass and thus condoms are not effective. Is it that what makes condoms 80-85 % effective ?

5. Are there any documented cases of people getting infected even after proper usage of condoms ?

I am really worried about the whole incident.
Kindly reply .
regards
