Hi, thank you for the help! My exposure was a protected sex in a massage parlor.  But I'm really worried because we both checked the condom if it was broken but we're not sure about it (including me because I was drunk), then we immediately  stop from there.
If you had protected sex, you didn't need to test. Condom breakages are absolutely evident, there's never a situation where you would have to guess. You would have most definitely known. The fact that there is guesswork going on means that you never had a risk.
That is not an exposure. If a condom fails it rips down the seam and hangs in tatters from the ring and is hard to take off, so it is a waste of time doing water tests and close inspections. Nove on from hiv and no need to waste your time with more tests.
