Did I contract HIV/Hepatitis condom broke

Last week I was having protected sex. While having anal sex with her the condom broke and I pulled out and put another condom on. Is it a possibility i contracted HIV/Hepatitis B. Been having sinus headaches and had a sore low back with pain in my sides for a day or so but its gone away now.  still having the sinus headaches but no pain in my sides

If you were her first and only partner, and she was your first and only partner, there was ZERO need to test for HIV and STDs.  They don't spontaneously generate when two people have intercourse.  However, I am sure it has put your mind at ease now that you know, for sure, that you are both negative.

It seems you tested early, based on your Feb 14 post that you said was 1 week past exposure.
I tested because I didn't know if she ever had any disease or been tested but we went together to get tested.  both of our results were all clear
The only thing that matters is if the test was after 28 days it is conclusive, but if it was done earlier it can't prove anything.
ok,  I thought if I was her only partner and she tested clean and I haven't been with nobody but her and tested clean that was not possibility of HiV or other STDS.  I'm confused can you get HIV or STDS with someone who does not have any STDS. please help me understand this.
You are correct, but didn't mention that you were her only partner before. It's safe to move on from hiv fears.

Bummer.  Condoms do break from time to time but once they do, yes. That's a risk.  You, as Chima says, will need to test and I'd use a 4th generation DUO test at 28 days.  However, know that a one time anal sex exposure is low risk of less than 2%. So, it is still unlikely you got HIV from this but it's an actual risk so you will need to test to make sure.

If your condom broke then that is a possible risk. You should test with a 4th generation ag/ab test after 28 days past the event for a conclusive result.
