Brief Answer: test after 3 mths Detailed Answer: Hello, if the condom tore, there can always be a risk of disease. There is not much you can do right now. You should test for hiv after 3mths. Other infections like syphilis etc should be tested only if you show symptoms.Every lab will do these tests. You can go the state hospital.
