Condom broke by a little bit. What are the chances of catching HIV?
I've recently had health anxiety about HIV. Year ago, had unprotected sex with stranger, had molluscums, got tested 4 different times with 4 different tests, all came back negative.
I had a huge anxiety and I finally defeated it.
Couple of hours ago, I(male) had vaginal sex with a sex worker.
Noticed that somewhere during first 10 minutes, condom broke. It's a little hole on the right side of
penis head.
Still, my health anxiety came back. Now I'm still worried about HIV.
She says that she is clean and had many tests, but still...
Is there a high chance of catching HIV in my case?

Only a test can tell you the answer but you know tht by now. You have been to the anxiety and dermatology forums since you posted here last week, so you need to find a way to relax. Stop googling hiv cold turkey and consider therapy because you had no problem before but obsessed in fear for years and now the other person tests negative and you are again unable to accept that there is not any chance of hiv and in fact are asking the impossible question - what your chances are.
You don't have any medical training so googling for death is bound to scare you because you will always find something that claims you can die tomorrow, so quit googling cold turkey and take a test in 28 days - consider therapy too.

This was the dermatology forum advice " anyone can get it." 3 days later and you are posting back here about your irrelevant molloscums as if you hadn't been advised to move on from thinking that it proves hiv. Seek therapy because you won't accept the reality that you don't have hiv, no matter how many times people tell you because you keep clinging to irrelevant ideas that make you think you have it.
I moved on from previous problem. Now, couple of hours ago, I had protected vaginal with a sex worker and condom broke a bit.
That what worries me. Would I get HIV from there? If she did have HIV, is there a high chance of getting virus?

Transmission from female to male via unprotected vaginal is very low risk.
Test at the appropriate time if you are concerned.

Thanks. Is PCR test on 10th day good choice?
Yes, though it can be quite expensive. A 4th generation test at 28 days is the best overall choice, but again, it's totally up to you to decide.
Thank you. I'll try not to think about it before it's time for test
