old condom

old condom

Hi Doc,
        I had a protected oral and virginal sex with an escort about 2 months ago.The condom which i used during the intercourse was old.Escort found this condom in my car's glove compartment. I think the condom had been in my car for a year.I am not sure about it's expiration date. May be could have expired.
What are the chances of getting HIV in such scenario? Condom didn't break.
I have taken standard HIV and PCR DNA Tests after week 6 and PCR RNA Test after week 7 and all the test results came negative. Can i rely on this or should i take one more test after 12 weeks(3 months)? Are there any cases which were negative after week 6 and positive after week 12?

not a doctor either,

But I know for a fact that it doesn't matter how old the condom was, as long as it was latex and did not break, your risk for contracting HIV was essentially nonexistent.  Expiration dates are only put on condoms to advise you when they are optimally durable.

Further testing is not warranted
