CSW Incident - Appreciate you advice

Hi,

I have a scenario and would appreciate your advice. I met a CSW and i'll assume her status was unknown. I didn't give these risks any thought straight after the incident as it was my first encounter (currently in a in monogamous relationship excluding this incident) but am a bit concerned after observing 7 - 8 red pimples on my chest and stomach and some rash symptoms (mainly redness around the pimples) exactly 4 weeks after the incident (no fever or other signs) and slight burning sensation during urination.

Situation

We had protected oral, but did not change the condom before proceeding to protected vaginal soon after. After withdrawing, I removed the condom, but did not remove the condom in the correct fashion such that the outside of the condom brushed past my penis head, and hence I was exposed to vaginal fluids on the outside.

My questions are

1) Due to using the same condom for oral just before vaginal, could there have been abrasions on the condom potentially exposing me to fluids when we proceeded to vaginal intercourse? I know few experts have commented the condom would burst as opposed to have micro tears? The condom had definitely not burst open / broken - i am sure of this as I made note after withdrawing.  

2) Would there be any HIV risk or Chlamydia / Gonorrohea risk from fluids on the the outside of the condom touch my penis head briefly (lets say 5 seconds) after withdrawing it? I've heard that HIV is hard to contract in this fashion, but keep reading that condoms are much less effective for Chlamydia / Gonn and less exposure is needed to transmit ?

3) Any other risks I need to worry about. I believe Syphillis etc is less likely - there were no visible signs on the CSW.

I shall be testing for peace of mind nonetheless and abstain from contact with my partner in the meantime.

Thank you so much and I really appreciate the support network on this forum.

1) condoms are made to endure such "abrasion", u can trust that it has protected u
2) the risk is equivalent to zero. Likewise, theres no 100% in medicine so i cant promise anything
3) nope, please talk to a doctor if you want to find out more
Im gald u r testing for a peace of mind, good luck

Thanks. Yes I certainly did not feel teeth grinding against the condom. I'm sure that wud have been painful so bit more relieved. And yea I was still protected until withdrawal I guess chlamydia is also less of a risk. I've just been paranoid so thanks for your advice.
