Please help I am really worried HIV, Herpes

Only one encounter 4 months ago, Singapore CSW; No subsequent sexual encounters post this; she said she is clean and has a baby so not to worry; I am not sure whether to believe whether they go for regular medical tests
Condom protected sex,   no oral, no kissing, Single shot, came inside the condom once; cleaned and that was that
Got tested for Chlamydia, Gonnorea, VDRL, HIV (PCR) - 7 days post exposure. All negative
No fever, no rash, no swollen glands till date
Got prostrate enlargement 5 weeks post exposure; no bacteria was found in semen culture or urine culture (found skin bacteria flora); took Cipro, Doxy for 1  month and it got cleared. No burning feeling while peeing etc. Doctor said it is genitally focused anxiety (gave me pills for anxiety disorder)
Now got 2 pimples on the buttock with white head, pus filled; applied ointment and it cleared  in 3-4 days. Getting tingling sensation on hands and legs

Questions
1. I am going for overall testing (bloot test and Hiv). What is the risk of HIV? (I am most panicky about it)
2. Risk of Herpes? (have been not having any symptoms for 4 months except most recent pimples on buttocks and one on chest, both are gone in 3-4 days)
3. Any risk of other STD? I am  39 yr old, married. Swear wont repeat this again in my life. Please help

So there is no chance of passing HSV-1 or HSV 2 to children. Correct?

Herpes testing is advisable? I havent had any sores/blisters for 4 months. Can you please let me know if I am able to transmit it to immediate family members?

You used a comdom so you are not in risk for std's exept herpes which is transmited through skin contact.

If your doctor told you are ok then you shouldnt worry
