Am I at high risk for a STI/STD?

Hello,

I am on a vacation with my friends and we decided to go to the red light district in Amsterdam to get a prostitute. The one I choose was very clean looking, made me wear a condom for everything and wouldn't even let me kiss her because she said she was safe. She made me even wear a condom on my fingers when I touched her vagina and anus. I did however perform oral sex on her anus and today I woke up feeling a lot of anxiety about  It. I have no symptoms, but I am very afraid that I may have contracted something such as HIV. I am not in my home county right now so I cannot see a doctor to get any tests done. What are the chances that I contracted something serious from her?sad thanks for the help, my anxiety is very bad right now!

I should point out that we was young and had not been a prostitute for top long. She was quite clean looking and there were no sores or open cuts around her anus or vagin. I also have no scores or open cuts in my mouth. I really don't know if
This is just my anxiety, but I fear that hiv, herpes, and other diseases could come about as a result of this encounter..

Thanks everyone.

Cleanliness and looks have nothing to do with Hiv so I don't know why you keep mentioning that.
You had no HIV risk and a test will be a waste of time.  

HIV is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. It doesn't matter if you and they were actively bleeding or had cuts at the time either because the HIV is effectively dead.  
Only adult risks are the following:
1. unprotected penetrating vaginal
2. unprotected penetrating anal sex
3. sharing needles that you inject with. Knowing these 3 are all you need to know to protect yourself against HIV. Your situation is a long way from any of these 3.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns, etc the air or the saliva does not allow inactivated virus to infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities.  The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established so there is no detail that you can add that will make any of your encounter a risk for HIV.  No one in 40 years of HIV history got HIV from the situation you are concerned about so it is unlikely that it will happen in the next 40 of your lifetime either.
The fact she made you wear a condom indicates she is intent on protecting herself from her clients so she is unlikely to be positive anyway, although it wouldn't matter in your case.
You are lucky that she wouldn't let you kiss her because if she let everyone do that,  you would run a good risk of getting a sore throat or flu.
