Condom broke twice! Now I'm worried.

Happened nearly 2 weeks ago.  I didn't realize the condom broke so we continued to have (vaginal) sex.  What's worse is that the condom broke twice!  So all in all, I'd say my penis was exposed for more than 30 seconds.  

Also during foreplay I rubbed my penis head against her vagina, which had a fair amount of vaginal fluid present.  

Considering both of these incidents, should I be worried?  Let's assume the worse that she was HIV positive and she didn't tell me, what are the chances that I could have caught HIV?  

She very sexually active and has anal sex...a lot.  But she assures me that she use protection every time.  2 weeks have past and I haven't had any unusual signs with my health, but I'm still worried.

Lizzie has very rightly said, HIV transmission is not a game of numbers and probabilities, sometime JUST ONE exposure is enough, provided all the transmission conditions are met.

The only problem with this ultra thin, yet very strong barrier is, its 100% protection remains valid, as long as it dos not fail but as soon as it does, all the assurances turn void and both the parterns are exposed to the risk, regardless of the time of exposure.

that is NOT what i said at all.  having unprotected sex is a risk...period!  i dont play the numbers game because all it takes is one time to get infected.

So you're trying to tell me that the risk is very high and it's likely that I may have caught HIV?

test at 6-8 weeks for a good indication of your status...but follow that up with a test at 3 months for a conclusive result.
