hole in my condom?

hole in my condom?

Ok so the morning after having penetrative vaginal sex with this girl me, being a slighty paranoid person thought id double check the condom hadn't broken by filling it up with water, expecting no water to come out, instead, to my horror i noticed a small jet of water spurting out from roughly the head of the condom.

I thought condoms didnt ever really do this? i am not making this up either, please don't say im lying or that condoms don't do that becuase this one did...sure theres a possiblity i caused the hole when taking it off/filling it up with water but i was quite gentle so doubt it...anyway whats your advice in terms of possible transmission...it was only 18 hours ago so I am still a candidate for PEP?

It could not have been there during sex, if it was the condom would have burst apart. The condom was damaged after sex

By reading what you've written, though it bamboozles me. However, I am compelled to say; 'Pretty hypothetical scenario presented'. I will go with the nature of the latex, it's a rubber, a small tear / hole would certainly lead to an evident breakage, that's the dynamics, the way it's build. The chemical bonding of the atoms of a latex becomes fragile the moment the bonding is disturbed. I don't mind explaining the molecular physics of latex here, it's a plain scientific theorem. However, i'd rather keep it simple and say - I don't believe you. You must have got some thing wrong here, buddy.
