Chance of Infection from Protected Sex with Prositute

I know, I'm an idiot.

I really regret doing this, but I recently (2 days ago) received oral and vaginal sex from a prostitute I found online. I wore a condom the entire time. Does anybody know the chances of contracting HSV-2 or HPV from having one-time protected sex with a high risk individual? I don't even know if she had a disease or not, but being that she was a cheap prostitute, I'm assuming she did. I've read elsewhere that there is like a 2-10% chance of contracting genital herpes from a monogamous infected partner if you have unprotected sex year-round avoiding sex during outbreaks. What would be the chances of contracting the disease from a one-time protected experience with someone during an outbreak? Similarly, what would be the risk of contracting HPV?

I've been worrying the past two days. Despite most of you being disgusted with me having sex with a prostitute, you will be happy to know that I am single and did not cheat on anybody. But seriously, if any of you can give me some figures to maybe ease my mind (I'm really thinking I have contracted a disease), I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

we recommend protected oral sex and protected vaginal sex because it works. The odds that you'd contract either hpv or hsv2 from a one time protected encounter are too low to worry about.


you should be taking precautions with anyone you are naked with -  not much difference between a sex worker or a gal you meet at the office except that the sex worker is more likely to be having safe sex and getting tested for std's regularly :)
