Risk question for Teak

Teak,

I posted a question earlier this week but I wanted a better response and it seems like you know your stuff.

I had anal sex with my friend on Tuesday, we used a condom and I was the 'top.' A few minutes into it he removed the condom from my penis. It looked fine to me. We put on a new one, a lifestyles condom this time, and continued.

After we finished I checked the condom and the first one we used had a cut/tear in the tip of it. I'm not sure if it occurred when he removed it from my penis or what but it wasn't a total tear or anything major like that.

My friend, who I've known for years, is somewhat sexually active. He works at a hospital as a clerk and says he gets tested regularly. Though, I don't have evidence of this so I cannot take this as conclusive.

What do you think my risk is?

Teak in an earlier question you told someone that a tear is a risk... so now I am confused as to why mine isn't.

But this one did when I picked it up from the floor, it had a tear in the tip?

Condoms don't get cut or small tears. When a condom fails, it fails catastrophically.
