broken condom

hello, I had sex last night and my condom broke. I didn't realize until I ejaculated and was exposed for like 5 minutes because I had a different feeling towards ejaculation. Is it possible to accumulate HIV during this short exposure. I will appreciate any answers,thank you

get your test , as the activist of your is at risk ... 4 week test will give the clean picture .. hiv is not spread easy at single exposure like 1/1000 given the person is hiv positive ,
get your self test ... you will be fine ... relax yourself and get the test done at four week mark ..

Its a risky exposure though HIV through unprotected vaginal exposure spreads less via a single exposure but certainly a one time exposure is a risk. Do a 4th generation combo or duo test after 4 weeks of exposure. I am sure you would be fine. Its a risk only if your partner is positive and not other wise.

Regards,
Nikhil
