condom breaks
Dear sir, yesterday my condom breaks when I was about to have sex with a massage girl(status unknown).Just when about to begin the act,she was on top of me and when she inserted my penis into her vagina, the condom breaks.I realised it and immediately pulled out my penis, probably within 30seconds after we started the intercourse.what is the risk.pls help
I had a Hiv Combo Test test at 25days post exposure and 9weeks non reactive elisa test.Is the test conclusive

Since the condom failure took place AFTER she inserted your penis in her vagina, you are exposed to risk. This is the single disadvantage associated with condoms that their 100% assurance against HIV and other STD's becomes void as soon as they fail. Therefore correct use of condom is the key because the failure is primarlily due to incorrect usage.
Though your risk is not very high (there are strong chances that your partner was not an HIV +ve), however it is not zero either, therefore you may get yourself tested after 4 weeks for p24 duo test, followed by another antibody tests after another 8-9 weeks to get a conclusive test.
Your 4 weeks p24 test would be highly reassuring and highly unlikely to change otherwise.
