HIV Transmission Risk - broken condom

A bit more than 3 years ago a condom broke while having sex with a prostitute (I am male, she was female). She noticed that it broke, stopped, and we changed it. The unprotected sex did not last longer than a few secs, but the tip of my penis was exposed. I am circumcised. Lately I remembered the incident and can't stop thinking and freaking out about it.

What is my risk for HIV transmission in this episode?

Thanks for your answer! Given the fact that the experience lasted onlya few seconds, what do you think are the transmission risks (in case she was HIV+) for a circumcised man?

Hello,
Unprotected sex poses a risk of HIV transmission.
An HIV test at the right time will give you accurate results.
A 4th generation test should be done at 4 weeks post exposure and a simple HIV test at three months post exposure.

Take care
