Brief Answer:
Unlikely STDs if protected intercourse.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for query.I an Dr Bharatesh D Basti answering your query.
Welcome back to health care magic.
I have gone through the details.
If the intercourse is all protected there is almost nil possibility of transmission of HIV/STDs.
The activities of daily living like sharing utensils, bathroom, bed will not transmit STDs.
The symptoms of burning sensation can be due to STDs or over cleaning the area.
Clean the area with warm water twice daily.
Wear loose cotton inner wears.
Do not cause friction or irritation.
You can get tested after 1 month or earlier if symptoms.
You can get back with details and clear photos for clarification.
Thank you

What should I have to do now to remove this anxity from mind ? I always have done sex wearing condom. Is there any possibility of condom breakage ? If Condom breaks how much chance is there to get STD and what type of STD?
I don't want to share this experience with my family right now? For that case what I have to do from my self to protect other family members at home from myself ?

Chances of STDs minimal if breakage of condom.

Hi
Thank you for follow up query.
If condom is used in right manner, The possibility of transmission of HIV is nil.
There are minor chances of breakage of condom if not used in proper manner.
There are minor possibilities of transmission of STDs if condom is torn.It may be bacterial, viral like herpes.It depends on the type of disease in the partner and whether organisms were really present during the contact.
If you get symptoms you can go for tests.Otherwise you can go for routine STDs tests after 1 month.
As said earlier STDs are not transmitted by sharing utensils or bed or clothes or speaking to somebody.You can lead a normal life without fear.
Avoid intercourse.
Once all STDs tests come negative you can be free from fear.
Do exercises, yoga,meditation to relieve your anxiety. Get involved in activities you like.
