Broken condom...

Hi all,
I had insertive anal with a TS escort in NYC and while inserting the condom broke, just the penis head was in but i pulled out immediately since i felt sensation. I was in for maybe about 4-5 seconds. There was no fluids on my actual penis. Like an idiot i put on another condom and continued and eventually ejaculated. The second condom stayed intact. The next day I tried contacting the escort and asked her about her HIV status and she seemed to get offended and blocked me. This put me off and has give me some paranoia. Im at 17 days and have a headache and feel a bit warm. I think this is the start of the window period. What are the chance I may have contracted HIV? Would appreciate any input. I do plan on getting tested once I hit 30 days.

Hi just an UPDATE. I took an OraQuick Test today. Im currently @ 6 weeks post possible exposure. OraQuick came back negative. Tomorrow im also getting an ELISA test done just to be sure and hopefully can put this bed.
I did wake up today with a cough and what feels like the start of a cold. Is this ARS related in anyway? I think the OraQuick is a good chance im OK but I suppose the ELISA will better confirm. Also if the ELISA test comes back negative do you think I should test again at 3 months or this is good enough?

Condom break is a risk, it happens but the fact you quickly withdrew puts the odds in your favor.  Yes test at 30 days and again at 12-13 weeks conclusive result.
