Had the condom broke you would have known,there is no doubt when this occurs & an HIV test at 40 days is around 99% reliable--stop worrying,you had no risk.

Theoretically i had a low risk because of the condom but practically the condom could have leaked/broken without noticing(its a fact).my question was the test i did at day 40 which was negative can it give me any hope? loking at what have gone through not anxiety driven.
