Broken Condom!!

Hi, I had been celibate for around 3 years until recently. I do have OCD when it comes to HIV and have been tested countless times, even though I wasn't sexually active. I am getting help for the OCD. My question is this, I recently had protected vaginal sex with a girl I met, during which the condom broke. I noticed it pretty much staright away and pulled out. She assured me that she hasn't had sex with anyone in 3 months, and that she had been tested, and always uses condoms anyway. She even offered to come with me the next day to get tested together, so we did. Both negative. Should I wait and get tested again in 3 months?  What are my chances of contracting HIV from this episode?

Thank you for your time!!

Trust your partner, she's is probably telling the truth. The fact that she joined you for testing proves she has nothing to hide, and her self reported history of using condoms indicate a knowledge and practice of safe sex techniques. If I was in your situation, I would trust the test. She tested negative, meaning you were not at risk of contracting HIV.
