Protected but with warts - risks?

I made a terrible decision to have protected oral and vaginal sex (same condom) with a csw in Amsterdam recently. Ever since I've been terribly worried about catching ALL/ANY std.
I have a long term gf who I'm proposing to soon and wouldn't want to hurt her if I became infected.

I've read protected sex means HIV/Hep B/Gon/Chlamydia are extremely unlikely, but I'm worried about 2 things in particular:
1) I have a 4-5 genital warts around the base of my penis and scrotum (I'm unshaved btw) - I read that HPV increases risks of HIV and other STDs. Is this correct?
2) After the oral I almost ejaculated but held back. She then got on top and a few thrusts later I started going soft. I pulled out (condom still on) and tried to get my erection back by myself. I didn't manage so just stopped. On taking the condom off myself I noticed it was unusually wet around my shaft. Not sure if this was her vaginal fluid? If it was, is it possible while I was trying to regain my erection that the fluid was pushed into the head and urethra?

The day after I went to sex clinic and had azithromycin and another antibiotic in one go for gon and Chlamydia. I also started PEP for 3 days but discontinued on the advice of another sex clinic doctor. Got a full std screen that same day and everything came back negative (as expected). Also told I didn't have hep b immunity.

I got tested at 27.5 days post exposure and everything came back negative. I also tested 30 days post exposure because I read PEP delays window period so that would have been 26 days post pep. Both HIV and Syphilis came back negative.

I have had very strange symptoms over past few weeks. Weight loss (8kg), muscle pain in thigh, shin muscles for 2 weeks, diahrrea, swollen glands under ear for 4 days (night of the second test) behind my knee now hurts and also my throat is sore, developed a cough and glands under ear are painful again. I also noticed a couple of new warts around my penis.

1) what are the risks I caught HIV?
2) do I need further testing?
Would a 6 week post pep 4th gen test be conclusive given I took 3 days of pep 36 hours post exposure? I'm particularly worried about hiv, but will also test for hep b and syphilis.

This is such a great forum and really relying on your responses for some reassurance/guidance.

Just to update, I had a full screen at 6 weeks, everything came back negative. After having unprotected sex with my gf she developed a severe headache after 5 days. Now I'm scared again and think I might have infected her. Do you think I am over worrying given my 6 week post pep was negative?

You can't get HIV when you use a condom, so your worries becomes irrelevant when you consider that fact.

OK - thank you. It wasn't just oral sex though, it was vaginal as well. I'll try to put this all behind me now. My gf is starting to get suspicious about why I haven't had sex with her since this happened. We only practice unprotected

As malbat informed you, and I support his assessment completely, you never had a risk and did not need to test..........let alone go on PEP treatment.

Your HIV test is conclusive because you never had a risk, and you do not need any further testing.
It the warts concern you, see a Urologist about having them removed.

It is recommended that ANYONE who engages in oral sex have a full STD panel done every 6 months and a blood drawn HIV test once a year.

Can anyone confirm if the 4th gen test I've taken at 26 days post 3 days of PEP (30 days post exposure) would be considered conclusive? Or is it necessary to carry on testing? Thanks

Are my tests conclusive or should I still do the 6 weeks post pep?

If I may help...You had no risk as long as the head of your penis was protected. Transmission of hiv happens inside the host. Once exposed to air, the virus becomes null and can't infect you. Don't worry to much about the warts at the base of your penis or on your scrotum. Its physically imposibble to get the base and the scrotum inside her in the first place. You don't need to test for this incident noe needed pep in the first place.

Anyways, if you're sexually active outside a monogamous relationship, it is advised to test for ALL STDs inclusive of hiv periodically.

Be well.
