HIV concern?

Anyone can help me? I am 23 years old and I am a male. I have had protected oral and vaginal sex(condom on my pennis during all sexual behaviors) with some sex workers during the past month. We also kissed each other. (kiss like couples) Do I need to concern about HIV?

Thank you Vance, but due to the case in syphilis, I use condoms for all types of sex during the past month I still got syphilis so I am really anxious that I may also get HIV.

Excuse me I got my test result today and the RPR test for syphilis is 1:1 and doctor told me I am positive for syhphilis. Does this increase the risk for me to get HIV?? I am so afraid. Today I also took a oralquick test for HIV at about 6 weeks after potential exposure (with condom) and it is negative. Should I still worry about that?

Thank you man. I won't do that any more. I will try to put more focus on other things instead of sex in the future.

You are right on dude.  However, as a sexually active and responsible adult, I recommend getting routine STD tests at least once a year.

Thank you so much. So generally speaking, if I use condom and the condom does not break I do not have to care much about the risk of any kinds of STDs or HIV right?

Many STD's are a lot more easier to transmit than HIV.  I would definitely check out the STD forum because I am not very knowledgeable on infections outside of HIV/AIDS.  But once again, both your acts were protected.  So it would seem to be that you should be STD free from this

I am not Vance, but I am sure he will agree with me when I say testing for this situation is not needed.  You had protected sex.  Which means exactly that, PROTECTED.  

Kudos to you for wearing a condom.  You were definitely using your brain.

Yes but I am just afraid kissing can transmit some kinds of STDs and also I am afraid that the condom is broken although I saw fluid inside the condom after the sexual behavior. So basically do you think I need any test?
