Anal sex - HIV risk assessment

Hello

I had an incident three days ago - I engaged in anal sex with a CSW where I was the insertive partner.
I had a few drinks also that night and that is also making me question my judgment.

I did put on a condom and the encounter lasted about two minutes. However, I didn't check for any damage to the condom after done. I just rolled out and discarded it. What is the possibility there was some breakage, and I didn't see it? I only could see the condom was still on me and my white cum in the condom slightly below the tip of my penis. Is it possible there could be a tear on the tip and I didn't see it leaving the uthera exposed?
- Lube was not applied on the condom and, am worried if that played in possible condom breakage?

Additionally upon withdrawal I see the condom still on my penis, and I see my cum deposited in the condom. S/he was on top of me, and we were in a car in a dark alley and visibility was not good.

If the condom did indeed break, it would be obvious to see even in the environment I described? Is that correct?


Given this information, did i put myself at risk for hiv exposure? do you think I should test?

I have guilt and regret over this incident and am hopping am just punishing myself with worry.

Thank you.

It is just the guilt that is clouding your judgment.  As long as the condom covered the head of your penis during intercourse, you were not at risk for HIV.  Obviously, the condom did cover the head as your semen collected in the condom.

When a condom breaks sufficiently to allow for HIV transmission, it breaks wide open, exposing the head of your penis.  You would NOT have missed this.  Zero risk.  No need to test.
