Do we share anything while a Condom is On ?

I am a 39 year old male and had sex with CSW several times in the past. Every time it was a protected sex. But each time after a week or so of these encounters, I have symptoms i.e. itching around my penis, Abdominal pain and my urine loose strength in its stream. Thinking that I may have caught some STD, I visited physicians who ran tests like Chlamydia, Gonorrhea and HIV. They all turn out NEG EVERY TIME and symptoms goes away while I am taking pain med like Tylenol or Advil. Initially I thought it is probably due to change in condoms. So I started using my regular condom during these encounters. But I still experience the same symptoms. Interestingly, when I have sex with my regular partner, I do not have these symptoms. My question is, do we share something with the partner during protected sex if not virus, bacteria and infection ? If not, What else could cause these symptoms if it is a protected sex every time ? Could it be because of anxiety may be ? I am usually worried about catching something even during protected sex. I had even a panic attack once due to these symptoms thinking these symptoms were due to HIV I may have caught from the CSW. Although I never worried until I had these symptoms 1st time 4 years ago when I thought it could be HIV.
I'd highly appreciate if you could please comment on it. Please advise.

Hi Vance. Thanks for the reply.I travel frequently and find myself in situations like that. I know its wrong to see CSW but it seems like I have psychological issue as I can't resist even though I try to avoid it. I searched online and I appear to be suffering from sex addiction. I can't resist and browse porn n stuff online. I dont know if there's anything at all I can do to stop it ? Is there anything like counselling of some sort for this particular problem ?

I'd highly appreciate if a Dr. from this site can respond please.

My guess is anxiety, condom protected sex is just that. But if you have a regular partner why do you need to see a CSW?
