Sounds good: I guess nothing is 100%, but you may be as close as possible. It sounds like you were careful and got the expected results. You are probably fine.

If your Herpes IgG..: ...was negative at 14 weeks, then you can rest easy about that. If you're also concerned about HIV/AIDS, you might want a retest at 6 months post exposure. Protected sex protects the sex worker as well. If the sex worker is an adult & not being coerced and you're willing to use protection, I have no moral objection to this activity. However, it's inherently more risky than monogamy.
