Risk after my condom tore during anal sex?

Tonight I had sex with another guy and while we were engaged in anal sex, I was wearing a condom and it tore a little along my shaft near the penis head. As soon as I noticed I pulled out and stopped. He had already told me he was negative and assured me again that he is negative, but what do I do?

Do I need to do anything just in case he doesn't know he's positve? I'm very worried. Thanks for any help.

You didn't even have a tear... You had no risk whatsoever. You don't need to test, let alone PEP.

Thank you for the help. I actually ran water slowly into the condom after and as it filled up no water leaked out, but I could see a small bulge/bubble in the condom where the stretch was. would this mean nothing could have entered the condom and then reach my urethra if no water leaked out? Thanks I hope you understand I'm just being thorough making sure I don't need to do PEP or anything.

If the condom was tight enough to stay on and keep you covered, then it was tight enough to stop anything from seeping in.

thank you. yes, the tip was covered. my only concern is not knowing if hiv can travel up through the condom to reach the tip?

If you are absolutely sure the tip of your penis was covered in the end, then no, you had no risk.
