Pinhole in condom , hiv risk or not?

Good evening, first of all I thank the community for answering my question.

I was with an escort having oral sex and vaginal sex with a condom.
After the practice I finished and checked the condom at first glance, it was intact and the semen was in the container at the tip. I always check the condoms but particularly that time I checked it because when I was penetrating I heard sounds of air like an explosion but the condom was intact to sight and touch.
After finishing, I filled the condom with water and found a small hole imperceptible to the eye, passing half the length of the condom closest to the base of it, the tip and the part that covers the glans and urethra were always intact. My question is, am I at risk of contracting HIV? Is it a risky situation?

thank you!

This is NOT a realistic risk. Not even a little bit.
HIV is difficult to contract, and it enters through the head of your penis, and generally requires a lot of unprotected, rubbing intercourse in order to infect an individual. You will NOT get HIV through a pinhole, even if it was there during intercourse, which I doubt very much.

Forget about this event and move on. You don't need to test.

Only the head of the penis needs to be covered. You were safe. But also, the hole likely occurred when the condom was removed. Condos rip wide open when the integrity of them is compromised.

So for you is a no risk situaciĆ³n? I wasnt feeling unsecure because i check the condom and it was intact to the eye my tip of the penis was always covered and if i didnt test it with water i wouldnt even notice the pinhole. But even that the pinhole was by the Middle of the condom not at the tip or near the head of the penis, but all the information on Internet and even here is contradictory sometimes so thats why i ask thx in advice guys!

hiv would have to enter through the urethra to infect you, which is a unlikely event in itself, but this pinhole likely didn't allow much to get inside the condom. It is unusual for a condom to have a pinhole, so if it actually did, it must have been in contact with a sharp object to create the hole. You can test after a month with a duo if concerned, or any other test after 3 months but I doubt you could get hiv from this type of situation so I wouldn't worry while waiting.

Likely the escort is negative, if she uses a condom all the time.

I wouldn't even test. Ignore my advice an hour ago.
