I had protected sex with a prostitute

[Otachi89]

I'm planning to have sex with a scort tomorrow, but I'm kind of worried now.
I'm going to use a condom, of course. Will I be safe from STD or HIV? I won't give oral sex to her, and if she wants to give me oral, I'm going to put a condom.
I'm still virgin, and I haven't had luck with the ladies...I'm 24 years old and I'm tired of waiting...So I made this decision, but I'm kinda chickening out now.
Any advise would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Use condoms for vaginal and anal sex correctly and consistently and you wont have HIV to worry about . Only use one condom at a time , using more than one can lead to condom failure . Condoms are designed so that when they fail there is no doubt so do not fill them with water or mess with them looking for holes , you may damage them .

If you are going to be sexually active there are responsibility's that come with it so keep in mind that anyone who is sexually active should be having a full sexual health care check-up, including but not limited to hiv testing, at least once a year and more often if unprotected intercourse occurs.

If you aren't already having regular, routine check-ups, now is the time to start. As long as you make sure condoms are being used for intercourse, you can fully expect your routine hiv tests to return with negative results.

Don't forget to always get checked for all the other sexually transmitted infections as well, because they are MUCH easier to transmit than hiv. Some of the other STIs can be present with no obvious symptoms, so the only way to know for sure is to test.

Use condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse, correctly and consistently, and you will avoid hiv infection. It really is that simple!

So, as long as I use the condom, am I safe?
I was really worried  I'm not planning on being active or spending all my time with escorts (I don't even have that much money), but I was feeling really unsure about this. Thanks.

Condoms are an effective barrier against HIV if used correctly . Im not trying to dissuade you from using an escort or having sex but you did the right thing by coming here and educating yourself . Now that you know about HIV you need to educate yourself about all std's . We deal with HIV issues so please go and find information about other sexually transmitted condition's , you can Google it and find what you need that way .

Once you are armed with facts and can then begin to have a satisfying stress free sex life that you deserve . You should not subject your self to fear in order to have sex . I wish you the best of luck .

I used condom, it didn't break or slip. She gave me oral sex with a new condom. We didn't kiss and I didn't give oral sex to her. Since I was protected, can I assume that I'm ok and without risk of catching a STD?
Thanks in advance

You are OK . You didn't have a risk for HIV in that situation .

ALTHOUGH YOU DO NOT NEED HIV TESTING AT THIS TIME for this incident , anyone who is sexually active should be having a full sexual health care check-up, including but not limited to hiv testing, at least once a year and more often if unprotected intercourse occurs.

As Jeff said, you have not had a risk for hiv infection.

You only need to test if you are not already in the habit of having regular, routine sexual health check ups.

Here's what you need to know in order to avoid hiv infection:

You need to be using condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse, every time, no exceptions until such time as you are in a securely monogamous relationship where you have both tested for ALL sexually transmitted infections together.

To agree to have unprotected intercourse is to consent to the possibility of being infected with an STI. Sex without a condom lasts only a matter of minutes, but hiv is forever.

Have a look through the condom and lube links in my signature line so you can use condoms with confidence.

ALTHOUGH YOU DO NOT NEED TO TEST FOR HIV SPECIFICALLY OVER PROTECTED INTERCOURSE OR GETTING A BLOWJOB, anyone who is sexually active should be having a full sexual health care check-up, including but not limited to hiv testing, at least once a year and more often if unprotected intercourse occurs.

If you aren't already having regular, routine check-ups, now is the time to start. As long as you make sure condoms are being used for intercourse, you can fully expect your routine hiv tests to return with negative results.

Don't forget to always get checked for all the other sexually transmitted infections as well, because they are MUCH easier to transmit than hiv. Some of the other STIs can be present with no obvious symptoms, so the only way to know for sure is to test.
