Still worried
I asked a recent question with regards to all types of STD's. The general consensus from the replies I got was that even though it is highly likely the sex worker I slept with may have had an STD, by wearing a condom I was safe.
I accept that I am also dealing with feelings of guilt.
My question now is two-fold, firstly what STD could have caused reddish spots on her breasts? I must have been a complete idiot to still go through with it after seeing them. And f those spots touched my skin, what could I have caught?
Secondly I have started to trawl through websties such as these comparing my symptoms to other posts. It has become an obsession. I think I am going mad. Apart from work, it is literally all I do. And I can't tell anyone about this due to the stigma of this thing. My day awake is a constant nightmare, half spent me re-assuring myself I'm ok and half having panic attacks that I'm not. And in front of friends and family I have to appear normal which is seriously difficult.
Is there anyone who has experienced this...anyone I can turn to for support? I really can't take this, am going insane.

reddish spots on breasts is not indcative of a STD. you wore a condom so basically you were safe.
the only thing you may get with condom protected sex is herpes/hpv but the chances are really low.
stop worrying and get tested to ease your mind.
Continue to use condoms and you will be safe.

Thank you once again, though I cannot bear to get tested, your reply has greatly eased my worries. I will not be engaging in sex with any type of sex worker again. The mental effect it has on me and also the risk of herpes etc greatly outweighs the brief enjoyment I get out of it. I hope I stick to what I just said.
please keep all your questions in your original post instead of making multiple new ones. this is asked in our read before posting post on this forum. thank you for your future cooperation with this.
