Protected sex, open wounds/scabs risk? +pharyngitis

Dear members:

First of all sorry for my bad english, I haven't practiced it for a long time. Besides I have read a lot from this forum
and I want to thank all of you for the help you give us.

To make the long story short:

Background:
- I didn't have sex for a year before the incident.
- I masturbated vigorously the afternon before (I didn't plan to have sex that night)
- I had an allergy the week before, that caused little scabs on my lower back as a result of the scratching.
- Since the city where I live is really dry, my lips are dry too and sometimes that causes wounds with instant bleeding.
- I removed a cuticle from one of my fingers 4 hours earlier with little bleeding.
- I'm circuncised.

The stupidity
I went out with my friend and we got drunk, now I realize that I let my animal part go out :P. We went to a brothel. A sex worker led me to her room, we undress. She put me on a condom and did me a short blowjob. After that, we had vaginal sex with the same condom. After all she took the used condom off me and we dressed again. Later in my house I masturbated again.

Questions
- I noticed that some of the scabs were removed, I don't know if it was because of the movement on the bed or maybe an accidental scratch. Since we had to put my penis back in sometimes, we touched the condom while having sex. Is there any risk if there were any indirect contact between the fluids (vaginal, cervical) of the condom and the open scabs?.  The next morning I noticed in my clothes that the wounds might have bleed a little.

- The same question goes for the lips, the wound in my finger and perhaps touching my eye or my penis after the condom was removed.

- Now, 30 days after the incident i got a really bad pharyngitis(fever, sorethroat, sweats), is it a symptom of any std?

- Do I need any std analysis?

I have read what you say about indirect contact and what is considered and open wound, but sometimes one needs to hear it from the experts and for his specific case.

Thank you for your time!

Stupid boy

I wil do it. I know sometimes fear is irrational, but there are things that confused me. As everybody here says that wounds are dangerous with this sickness and those "symptoms" that can be created by anxiety. Thank you again!

Continue to educate yourself about HIV............and then educate your friends.

Fear and lack of knowledge will not help us end this scourge.

You had NO RISK for HIV so there is NO WAY you could be having "symptoms," which, by the way, are useless for diagnosing HIV.

Your symptoms are related to a bad cold or the flu.........NOT HIV.

Move on with your life.

You had both PROTECTED oral and vaginal sex. Unless the condom broke, which you definitely would have known, YOU HAD NO RISK AND DO NOT NEED TO TEST FOR ANYTHING.

All those other things about your scabs and your scratches and your hangnail and your chapped lips and your sore throat.........NO RISK
