Semen trapped in the shaft of the condom...

After having (hopefully-protected anal sex) semen was trapped in the shaft of the condom (not only in the reservoir) but there was no leakage (as far as I can remember)
1) How bad of a thing that is (in terms of contracting hiv) ?
2) Is there any chance the condom failed in any way (considering the symptoms I'm dealing with right now) ?

1. as long as the condom was not broken or slipped, u had no risk of hiv, and it doesnt matter sperm was in shaft or in reservoir,
2. if the condom failed, u would have seen it, it would have been completely broken and visible to the eye after u have finished sex

You're chance of getting HIV is near to zero,, get tested at 15 day mark by HIV PCR RNA test, or by p24 antigen + antibody duo combo test at 28 day mark, either of the two results will be conclusive.
