Please tell me I am being ridiclous, but I have very bad anxiety, and I am kinda a hipocondriact. Anyways I met a girl this past saturday night and took her back to my house, and we started making out in my hot tub, then we went to my bedroom and she gave me oral sex (without a condom), and we had protected sex for like five minutes until I came. I checked the condom prior to putting it inside her and was very careful when taking it off. The next day I regreted having sex with her because she was very easy, and have had anxiety ever since that I have contracted something from her. I have no visible symptoms, but my glands are swollen and I am my body is sore, but I did party hard all weekend, and worked out hard so that could be the reason for the fatigue and aches. Please tell me if it is possible to get anything using a condom and please tell me that I am being ridiclous. I am very careful and try not to sleep around. I was just drunk and didn't think with the right head! Please get back to me thanks!

Yes you can get a STD with OR without a condom, HPV for example is transmitted genital flesh to genital flesh, not EVERYTHING is covered by the condom. Go and get tested, it pays to be cautious in this day and age

I am 100% sure no skin to skin contact was made, I am more worried about getting HIV or HSV2 is it possible to contract these if a condom was worn properly? Ever since I had sex with this girl I have been so worried and fatigued and my body aches. I don't know if I am just worn out from the weekend, or its all in my head. Someone please let me know thanks!

Well if you used a condom before you inserted into her vagina you are basically as safe as you can get. It is rare to get HIV from oral sex but it can happen...its not like it doesnt happen, but it is RARE. Just like deep french kissing, you are not likely to get HIV like this at all...but any cuts or open sores leaves you both open to that if one of you is HIV positive. Plus you dont know if she has HIV or not, she may not even have it. Also, yes you can contract herpes or warts but that may not show up right away. As for the most common std's...chlamydia and gonnorhea, syphillis you can get checked for them and all std's free at your local health department. You probably dont have anything to be too concerned about, but next time...wear a condom even when you get oral sex because it will keep you safer.
Oh and by the way, you can stress yourself out and make yourself think you have symptoms even when you dont. Put your mind at ease and just go to the local health department to get tested. Call them up, make an appointment. Its not complicated. Good luck and let me know how it goes.

I don't think you understand. There is no way to have intercourse WITHOUT skin to skin contact. "Skin to skin" includes the area of the body not covered by the condom, such as the scrotum, labia, and other genital skin. As you can see, there is just no way to have intercourse without these areas coming into contact.

Having said that, most likely you are fine. Except for HPV, the chance of disease transmission when using a condom is quite low. Usually less than 1%. But it DOES happen. It never hurts to get tested.

Good luck.
