Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.

On most occasions, many people are in anxiety after having sex with a prostitute, especially after knowing the many diseases can be transmitted during sex. Let me make you aware that HIV is only one condition and many other disease like genital warts, herpes and syphilis are far more communicable than HIV.

You may consult a dermatologist or doctor specializing in sexually transmitted diseases and get yourself examined completely. They will help you out with any other tests that may be necessary depending on your symptoms.

Please remember that prevention of sexually transmitted diseases is only through sex with a faithful partner.

Hope this helps.
