If a guy uses a condom always, including for oral, what are the chances he will get an std? What bout if he went to a prostitue and used a condom there?

I'm curious to know.

The safest sex is with blow up dolls, but many are made in China so be aware there's a choking hazard.

Till you have a kid. That's an STD for life. Besides, some partners cheat.

Guys I'm serious. Say a friend of mine visited a prostitute and used a condom always, including oral. What's the chances he got herpes (as that seems like the only transferrable disease with a condom on), also considering the prostitute did not show any signs of herpes?

You've just answered your own question, in the form of a question.

Read this part again: "transferable disease with a condom on."
Also, the medical ads on television are near impossible to miss. I rarely watch television and I've seen the ad about some particular medicine dozens of times - the medicine that makes it less likely for one person to pass herpes on to their partner. If you listen during that ad, it says something like "studies show that 80% of herpes transmissions occur when neither partner is showing signs. <drug> will help prevent this from happening." I'm not sure of the exact percentage, but it was significant.

Do you think the prostitute has a health care policy that pays for medicine to keep her from spreading a disease to her clients? Or do you think she really doesn't care about that?

Depends on the caliber of the prostitute I suppose. Some are clean, shrug. Bottom line, "your friend" should get tested.

How long should he wait before getting tested?

And since sex is a lot more fun than death or taxes, I'm willing to risk it.

How long has it been? No reason to wait unless it's been perhaps a day or two.

Low, though not impossible. Wait for cold sores to show up and get them tested.

edit: IIRC, there has to be some sort of cold sore (or whatever they're called in the genitals area) to test for the Herpes virus. If he doesn't have any, there's nothing to test. But I'd find out for sure before he has sex with anyone else.
