Broken condom

Dr Handsfield,

Thanks for the help that you are providing online. I am 32 Male, heterosexual married man (monogamous) till i went to a massage parlor in Bangkok. I had protected oral. For the vaginal, the first push tore the condom. when i removed i saw the side is gone with the head safe. Exposure lasted for 2-3 sec max and my adventure was over. I was so scared, on asking she told me that she also loves her life  and no matter how much money you give she use condom (which seems to be true as for oral also she said she will use condom).

Q1 I went through a surgey 9 days after exposure where HIV test was done it was "not reactive". No idea what gen of test. Any relevance of this result?

Q2 I read somewhere if u have microscopic injury then it might. It was a healthy penis, but not sure about what it means by microscopic?

Till i found your answer (few month back)  where u said it is zero in case the business end is intact. I wish i found your answer on the same day. But the moment i saw your answer I moved from days of sleepless ness, sleeping pill to normal life. But for last couple of days Q2 is hunting. Do you recomend a testing to end the fight between rational mind which says i am fine and irrational mind still asking "what if" as 5 months already passed.

Million thanks in advance

You have to pay to post to the Dr's in the "Expert" forum.

Free advice-
1. Yes and No. No because it would be too soon, yes because if it really was 2-3 seconds then you did not have a risk.

2. Whatever you read was incorrect.

No risk no need to test
