Should I be concerned?

Hello,
I had gay sex with another man two days ago. I was the bottom. He used a condom and sufficient lube, but at the end we realized the condom had broken at some point. He had only penetrated me for maybe 4-5 minutes. There was a lot of pre cum in what was still intact of the condom, but he didn't actually cum. It was not that aggressive and there wasn't blood on the condom or anything. My partner is a white male and we're both from Ohio. He said he was tested about 1.5 months ago because he's being deployed for the Navy very soon, but I'm not sure I believe he was tested recently. Assuming he has HIV, how worried should I be and should I be doing an early detection blood test. If so, when is the appropriate time to get the test? Thanks in advance.

In the US, the DUO IS available but mostly only through a doctor's order. You probably will not find it in a free or government run HIV clinic but you will through Quest and Lab Corp etc. The only way you can take a test through Lab Corp or Quest is by your physician who can order the specific HIV DUO test for you.

If the head of his penis was still covered by the condom you are not at risk of HIV.  If not, then you did expose yourself.  Though your risk would be pretty low.  

Being in the U.S. I doubt the HIV/antigens DUO test is available to you.  So your choices would be to have an HIV/RNA early detection test at 14 day mark.  Or wait 6-8 weeks and have a 3rd gen antibody test done.

I'm going to say your partner did not lie about being tested for deployment.  With this in mind I am very confident you will be negative.

Take care.
