I don't believe that the towel presents any risk of transmission of an STD to you, no.

Terri,
I am sorry for my second post but as you can tell I am filled with a lot of anxiety and a possibility of a broken relationship if and when I confess this to my partner.
I wish to also know if using the towel the escort provided increase the risk of herpes or other STDs?
"I took shower after the whole act and used a clean towel she provided to me"
I usually get to to posts within 24-48 hours. It has been less than that.
it is unlikely that you would get herpes from this encounter, though I cannot tell you that it is impossible. Condoms reduce the risk of transmission of herpes by 30-50%, depending upon the study that you read. However, the risk of getting herpes at a single intercourse using a condom is very small indeed.
Getting HIV infection from this encounter is extremely unlikely, near impossible. HIV is not transmitted in exactly the same ways that herpes is.
If you do want to get tested for herpes antibody, you should wait 4 months from the encounter to do so.
Sorry, I can't really advise you on the decision to have unprotected sex with your partner or not. I can only say that the risk of getting herpes from the encounter is very low, though not zero.

Has been 8 hours but have not gotten a response...may be I posted this question in the wrong forum?? Should it go to the STDs forum??
