Protected 5 minute sex with sex worker. scared of herpes
Hello on Sunday afternoon I brought home a girl that I found out later used to be a sex worker. I'm not sure for how long but shes 24 years old. I asked if she was clean she said yea she gets tested a lot. In my stupidity I went ahead with the act. She performed protected oral on me and then we did protected doggy style for only a few minutes. The condom never slipped an inch but I know herpes can be shared while wearing protection.Over the next day I masturbated a total of 4 or 5 times which isn't too far above normal when I have the house to myself.
The day after the initial encounter 9 started to have huge regret and anxiety about the whole thing and started to feel "symtoms". First thing I noticed was the tip of my penis at the hole is uncomfortably sore but not unbearable. I keep my hair trimmed so I'm always a but itchy but my anxiety is making it more noticeable in my head. I am experiencing some hot flashes and a bit of back pain but again I feel like that could be explained by the anxiety. for a couple of hours I did feel a "tingle" at the very tip of my penis. still no bumps or lesions yet. Is this too soon to feel amything and I'm just paranoid or is there something else going on.
This is the only new partner ive been with in the last 7 years and I thought I did everything safe but now I don't know what to think.

Sex workers take a lot of precautions to make sure they don't get infected with anything, so most aren't any higher risk than anyone else.
You're only real risk here is from unprotected oral sex, and it includes genital hsv1 (if you don't already have hsv1) and gonorrhea. Yes, you could get herpes from protected sex, but it's not likely.
Honestly, without discharge or blisters, I wouldn't worry at all, and stop contacting the woman. Sex always carries a risk, and she's answered your questions. In the future, perhaps you should test with new partners before sex and share the results with each other. It's a good way to develop communication and trust. :)
