if you pulled out as soon as you felt the condom fail...then your exposure was minimal and the chance of infection is not high at all.  WITH THAT BEING SAID...the ONLY way to know if you have hiv is by testing.

a test at 6-8 weeks post exposure will give you a very good indication of your status...but follow up at 3 months for a conclusive result.

It depends how long your penis was inside the Vagina after breakage and viral load of the partner.

You have put yourself at risk .

I would suggest you to do testing in 6 weeks and 3 months after the exposure.
