the quality of condom

I learned on the forum that making love with condom has no risk, but if the condom is broken, there are risks of contracting AIDS.
About my situation, I always use condoms when I make love with others, but I never checked if the condom is intact or not after? My question is how can I know that the condom has no cracks or broken after making love, may be,the condoms can have small cracks due to the friction of sex, and it allows the virus from entering the wound on my penis.N is not it?
I asked this question because I traveled several times in Asia this year for my work and I have some erotic adventures in asia, and even i used a condom every time, but I'm not sure that the quality of condoms that the prostitute provide.
Thanks for your help

No it is not possible when condoms fail they are designed to fail catastrophically.

is it possible that the condom is not broken, but it has a tiny hole on itself, allowing the transmission fluid? A  small hole can be caused by the friction of vaginal intercourse

thank you very much

condom failure is CATASTROPHIC...when it fails...IT FAILS ! ! !  there would be NO DOUBT or second guessing about failure.  instead of seeing the condom...you would see what look like a frayed hula hoop around your penis.

prostitues use the correct condoms.  they want to protect THEMSELVES from YOU, their paying customers.
