8 weeks is a great indicator of your status...but the CURRENT guideline states 3 months for a conclusive result.

condom protected sex is safe sex as long as it does not rupture/fail.

it is unlikely that you contracted hiv from 30 seconds of unprotected intercourse...but we cant guarantee it.  the only way to know one's status is by testing 3 months after your LAST exposure.

so tell me why your condom keeps failing?  are you using any lube?  doesnt sounds like you are.
