STD/STI/HIV from protected sex
Hi all -
This incident occurred a couple days ago. I (male) was having drinks (slightly buzzed) and ended up having sex with an escort (female). We used a condom the whole time but we had oral sex and regular (vaginal) sex. All protected but I wanted to understand my risk for infection.

Herpes spreads by oral, vaginal and anal sex.
Herpes sores blister, then burst, scab and heal.
STIs are the most common cause of genital sores.
Millions of people are diagnosed with STDs in the U.S. each year.
STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.
As I explained in your previous post, oral sex on it's own is considered low risk, and most experts don't feel it warrants testing for just one unprotected encounter.
Yours was protected. In theory, you might have a risk for syphilis and genital hsv1, if you don't already have oral hsv1, but I wouldn't even worry about it.
The risks from protected vaginal are syphilis, HPV, and genital hsv2. Again, the risks are quite low.
It's probably time to talk to someone about your anxiety, and why you continue to see escorts when they cause you such turmoil after. No judgement at all, but mental health is as important as physical health.
