Need help understanding a risk
I recently became a sexually active gay male. The other night I foolishly hooked up with a guy. I had a Trojan latest condom and some lubrication that was water based.
He put the condom on before entering me as I was the bottom/receptive partner. This is where I am wondering if this was safe sex. Upon him climaxing, he started to pull out and the condom started coming off his penis. I held on to it. When he finally pulled out, the condom was still ON him but the receptacle part that holds the semen was loose and hang ing off his penis. I took the condom completely off of him once he was out. Out of anxiety I suppose, I saw the semen in the condom and stupidly filled condom with water to see if it leaked.
A. Was this safe sex? Is this uncommon?
B. Had the condom broke, would I know?
C. Am I being overly anxious?
D. Do I need to test?

Thank you for explaining that. Phew!
Last question.SWEAR!! ;-)
However, what about the part where part of the condom was still inside as he was pulling out....but the condom was still on him.

When a condom fails it fails catastrophically, you never had an exposure and don't need testing.
recommended you still test. A penis should not be flaccid when removing from the rectum. Thats why they say hold on to the condom when you remove.
had the condom broke, the condom would not have held water,...right?
and the head of his penis was still covered even though he was flaccid and the tip of the condom had to be pulled out?
thanks

Testing isn't necessary. You didn't have a risk.
The only time a condom isn't effective is if it breaks. Water testing is not necessary as when a condom breaks, it's very obvious.

I'm sorry for the confusion on the last question.
I guess what I am asking is...In regards to a condom, when is a condom NOT considered effective?

May I ask a follow up?
If the condom was on his penis before he started and still on his penis even after the sex when he pulled out, is this what constitutes "Safer" sex?

Condoms are the most effective way to prevent HIV and STDs.
PrEP is used by people with high risk to prevent HIV infection.
Can I get HIV from surfaces, like toilet seats?
Can you get HIV from casual contact, like hugging?
Frequency of HIV testing depends on your risk.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) may help prevent HIV infection.
