Regret having sex with a prostitute

You guys have to give me some advice I'm going to go nuts.
Yesterday morning something came over me and I hired a prostitute. I found her online. We only had a few seconds of intercourse (before I came to my senses), it was mostly just kissing, etc.
I am freaking out about STDs. We used protection but I still can't shake the paranoia. I'm going to get tested tomorrow. Thing is she turned out to be pretty classy and kinda nice since we chatted most of the time. She said she was clean but who knows.
Anything I should know before I get tested tomorrow? How will the tests be preformed? Will I know right away?
Also I'm drowning in guilt. I feel like shit about this. I literally have no idea what came over me. Any ideas on how to put the whole thing behind me and move on?

unless he's in vegas, prostitution and soliciting a prostitute are both illegal...
I wouldn't feel guilty about breaking a law unless I'd somehow hurt someone or otherwise morally transgressed in the process. That's not to say I'm condoning law breaking, of course. I just don't think this is something to beat yourself up about.

Therapy? If you have the finances available, it might help to find out what caused you do it in the first place and the extreme bad reaction you had to it. And guilt...
I've been in on and off therapy a large portion of my life.. (essentially 10 years) and Im 25 now. And all the ones I've talked to, don't really have a judgmental attitude in regards to things like prostitutes or drugs and such.
Thats how mine was done a few years ago. I'm not show how quickly something you got would show up though. Some you can only test once you have an outbreak.
If you've ever had a one night stand then you should calm down. A hooker obviously gets around, but so could some chick who'll put out the night you meet her. So if you've made it through a one night stand you shouldn't be freaking out as much.
If it's because you paid for sex, then consider the fact that some ridiculous amount of men have paid for sex. I think it's one in three or one in five men sleep with prostitutes in their lifetime.
Just chill out.
on a more serious note, you're most likely fine. if the condom was worn properly and wasn't damaged the chances of getting anything are very slim.
as far as guilt, don't be so hard on yourself (puns! get your fresh, hot puns here!) over something we've all at least given a passing thought to at some point.
Not sure if you were serious but prostitution is illegal in Vegas as well.
Most "classy" hookers are pretty insistent about condoms as they earn enough money to be choosey with their clients so chances are that she has an STD is slim at best. And you had a rubber on so that gives you even a higher of being fine.
If you are worried about the social taboo of sleeping with a hooker, again, don't worry about it. It's just sex, and that's all she viewed it as as well. It's not like she will tell anyone.
Satans..... hints.....
Were you just lonely, or just horny, or what?
I've run into guys who associate prostitutes as 'less than real' or some such, and it makes it easy for them to do what they were going to do (no strings sex usually), but as soon as she seems like a person they can relate too, they start to think they're doing something wrong.
Was it that?
Anyway, if you don't want to delve too deep, just relax and get tested as you should after any non-monogamous sex. But I'm betting, since most call girls rely on repeat business and referrals, that she is clean.

Woah, hey, slow down. Therapy isn't the answer to any problem you might have. There might not be any deep-seated reason that he decided to hire a hooker. In fact, I'd bet money on it.
You don't feel good about it because you hired a prostitute. I think it's pretty cut and dry, and you should learn from this experience and move on.
granted it's illegal but you've got nothing to feel guilty about man. Unless you're the type to freak out BECAUSE it's illegal, but I don't think that's the case
seriously it's not a huge deal. Some fathers even pay for their sons to have sex with prostitutes. It's taboo but it's nothing to feel guilty about
super duper calm down, man
well it all depends on where he is concerning the legality aspect.
unless he's at least the mayor of a town, nobody gives a shit if he fucked a hooker
the cops don't interview prostitutes and ask them who they've fucked and then go to those persons' houses and arrest them
obviously
i'm just saying that if the legality is what is making him worried then he should look up if it is even illegal.
It was more about him feeling bad about it, as opposed to having to do with him getting one.
Although you're right , its only been a day. So its not like this has been haunting him for months.
Even if it did, therapy isn't a cure-all.
If you feel guilty, go to confession or something.
that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat
As for the guilt, again just put it down as an experience, and let it pass. It's pretty baseless, unless you have conservative religious views. Consider whether or not you really think paying for kissing and a few seconds of intercourse is extremely immoral, or if you're just accepting the mainstream view.
I never said it was. It was just an option being put out there. So :?
I just feel it was extremely hasty and completely unnecessary
It was a possible suggestion, I dont dictate this guys life. Completely unnecessary? You make it sound like I was insulting him or something.
It just helps sometimes to talk to Someone who won't necessarily judge you.
So after going without sex for so long, I was in Honolulu last week, got drunk, and was dumb enough to spend $300 on a prostitute after girl I went out with turned me down for another date the next day...I feel terrible and stupid....but even more than that, I'm terrified of HIV. I used a condom (didn't break) and she also put something on the base down there as well that looked like a towelette or something. We had intercourse, but she only went about half way down, and it lasted like 30 seconds, which is embarrassing in and of itself.
Anyway, I'm going to get tested but heard it takes up to 6 mos. for HIV to show up. So I figured i'll get tested right away anyway then in 6 mos. as well. Do you guys have any idea what statistics are in that situation of contracting HIV? I'm terrified and worried all day long. How likely are the chances?
Hell, no reason not to get tested just for ease of mind, but damn... be reasonable people
Don't worry about that, condoms protect against HIV....especially if they don't break. Moreover, even if you'd bareback, contracting HIV (provided it nis in the equation) is not a 100% deal. Supossedly it is rather difficult to contract for the woman and even more so for the man. I have no stats on that, and don't call me on it, but I believe those are the odds.
Get tested now for anything nasty, get tested in 6mos for anything really nasty.
You are less likely to get an STD from someone who is a proffessional at keeping herself clean (alive) and employable than you are from a random girl picked up at a bar. Seriously, does the exchanging of cash miraculously change infection rate?
Exchange of bodily fluids is what passes on STD's. Kissing is incredibly low risk. I believe even going down on her is low risk. A sheathed penetration is safe as long as the condom is intact.
Take the tests if you feel the need, but if one comes up positive I still would not think it came from the hooker.
Edit: Redded cause I am full of shit. Ignore that bit! >_<
I guess the reason I feel so guilty isn't so much the social taboo or whatever, it is that I was lonely before and now I feel even more lonely. I'm kind of in a rut right now and I hoped spending some time with someone would make me feel better, but it didn't.
I'll get over it though. The only thing that's really bothering me is STDs. I'm going today, hopefully that will make me feel better.
So is running a red light but most people don't freak out everytime they pull a California Stop.
Scabies, crabs, HPV, herpes...none of these require an exchange of fluid. Genital-to-genital contact is enough. And for scabies and crabs, a condom is completely useless (luckily they're both pretty easy to deal with).
I would be more worried about contracting something from a drunk* college student than a professional, personally.
EDIT: *Because everyone knows that if they're sober, you can't get AIDS.
Listen, who among us hasn't woken in a blood splattered hotel room with a dead whore stuffed in the trash receptacle? The more times you do it the easier it will get.
My poor attempt at humor aside, you did the right thing by getting tested. You might want to actual consult with a physician, but as long as everything comes back negative you are fine.
As far as the guilt goes, I recommend two things
1) As long as this woman made it clear at the time of the encounter that she performs consensual sex acts for money, she doesn't want you're guilt or pity, so let it go.
2) If you are convinced that what you did was wrong (and I'm not saying anything either way) find a way to atone for it. Do something charitable for a woman in your circle. Buy your mother flowers, tell your cousin you like her crappy photo blog, something like that. While a good deed doesn't wash out a bad one, you need to put this incident behind you and focus on making your small corner of the world a better place.
Again, I'm not saying what you did was right or wrong, but compared to some of the things I've done to prostitutes over the years, you're a fucking saint....
Yeah, OP told me she'd only been a hooker for about a month now. I think her name was Chastity, or something like that.
