HIV/STD Followup questions

I do have a quick followup Question ... i have read in so many forums about Condoms and STD risks and many people from forums have stated " if you use a condom and it didn't fail for come off your risk for STD's including chlamydia and gonorrhea is Zero"

however i experienced symptoms about 5 -6 days after my protected sexual encounter and my condom didn't fail or fall off how could this happen?

the only symptoms that i had were pain in my urethra (Not During Urination) Just randomly sometimes during erection and pressure in bladder area ... i took a single dose of antibiotic and the symptoms subsided

i cannot say for 100% that the condom didn't have a small hole but after the encounter i took the condom off and filled it with water and i didnt see any water leaking nor did it bust when i filled it up with water ... the condom grew about 2 1/2 - 3 inches right after i spilled the water out and threw it away

Anyway this is something that has been on my mind and just looking for an answer to ease my mind

Thank you for your time

Your sympthoms could  be caused by rough sex or to much masturbating. Also a single dose of antibotic wouldnt kill STD like chlamidia.
