Protected Sex with a hooker?

Question 1
Protected Sex with a hooker?...  hi,
I ended up getting drunk on boxing day and I had sex with a prostitue. I wore a condom and it didn't break or anything. I'm now scared that I might have an STD or HIV however shes been reasuring me that she is clean.

What are the chances that I have caught an STD or HIV? I've read a few articles saying that condoms don't stop HIV?

Answers
1)   u wouldn't catch aids! but groin contact might lead to other STI's...id get urself checked by a doctor! - syzygy

2)   Well you cant take her word for it,you need to go to the doctor and get checked to be safe hope the best for you good luck :] - I LOVE JESUS :]

3)   you cant get hiv if you use a condom but they only work 97% of the time so theres a slight chance of you having it.
if you're so scared go to the doctor. - Hannah

4)   bahahahahaha
sucks to be you! - Benjamin Beloved;

5)   The chances of catching anything in the circumstances you have described are virtually zero. - Vicky

6)   Not sure about HIV but you can transfer an std even if you use condoms. - rimfireguy

7)   You do have a chance of having something... I suggest you get yourself checked immediately... - Syko

8)   No condom is 100% safe, but certainly you were very smart to use one. Odds are that since you did use protection, you will be okay. Just keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary with your sexual health. Good luck, and good job for keeping safe! - MDH

9)   u should be ok - Murzy

10)   Get yourself checked out asap, and put this down to a learning curve, you were lucky that used a condom, you may not be so lucky next time. Your statement "she's been reassuring me" makes me think that you know her or are friends with her though...! - wolsy

11)   The chances of having caught anything are so remote that you need not worry about it. If you still feel uneasy on Tuesday go along to your local GUM clinic and get tested (but its not necessary). - sinwalk2

Question 3
Help! I feel terrible! What can fix this illness?...  My throat hurts really bad and I keep spitting because it's really hard to swallow and breathe. What can help me with my throat?

Answers
1)   What I found to help mine when I was sick, was cold Sunny D. (Nasty, I know) but it soothes the burning.
I hope it works for you. [: - Vanity

2)   What bothers me is that you report breathing problems. When ever you have breathing problems it can be several causes. My first inclination is you are allergic to something and you better get emergency medical help fast. - Trese

3)   gargle with some warm salt water, (sounds gross) but it numbs the throat a little, and try to take some a ibuprofen if you can, that takes the pain and inflammation down, if it doesnt get better i would call the dr ;-) - In Michigan

4)   gargle some salt water and spit it out! - CliffBurtonFan!!!

Question 4
Can second hand smoke cause voice loss?...  The last few days I have had a hard time talking. It is fine when I whisper, but when I speak normal My voice is horse, cracks often, and squeaks. I had a 99.3 fever a few days ago but I got it to go away within a few hours. Then I had a soar throat for the rest of the day. The soar throat and fever were gone by the next day and I have had a hard time breathing the last couple days. It's a mixture of mucus and sinuses.
My parents both smoke and I've been away at school until 2 weeks ago. They smoke inside and refuse to open windows. I've asked them to open a window but it's cold outside and "they aren't going to heat the whole outdoors" and they don't smoke outside because "this is their house". I am not trying to say my parents are wrong or anything I am just wondering if their smoking can be what is making me lose my voice or if it's something else.
And if you could suggest any home remedies for my voice, that would be appreciated.

3)   There are chances that second hand smoking can aggravate your condition but unlikely to cause hoarseness of voice. Following is my answer to a similar question two months ago.
Earlier You had inflammation of upper throat that's Pharynx...Pharyngitis. now the infection which caused inflammation traveled downwards to involve the voice box or Larynx, a condition called Laryngitis. You are having inflammation of the Larynx. most common cause is viral infection and fortunately self limited. you need to take motrin, don't talk too much and too loud.
Laryngitis is an inflammation of the larynx. It causes hoarse voice or the complete loss of the voice because of irritation to the vocal folds (vocal cords). Dysphonia is the medical term for Laryngitis and other vocal disorders.
Laryngitis is categorized as acute if it lasts less than a few days.[1] Otherwise it is categorized as chronic, and may last over 3 weeks.
Causes:
viral infection
bacterial or fungal infection
inflammation due to overuse of the vocal cords
excessive coughing, smoking, or alcohol consumption [edit] Symptoms
Symptoms of laryngitis can vary, depending on the severity and also the cause. The most common, and obvious, symptom is impaired speech, ranging from a raspy hoarseness to the total loss of ability to speak, except at a whisper. Other symptoms can include:

Dry, sore throat
Coughing, which can be a symptom of, or a factor in causing laryngitis;
Difficulty swallowing ;
Sensation of swelling in the area of the larynx;
Cold or flu-like symptoms (which, like a cough, may also be the causing factor for laryngitis)
Swollen lymph glands in the throat, chest, or face;
Fever
Difficulty breathing (mostly in children)
Difficulty eating - Imtiaz
