Does it not matter that I withdrew my penis immediately it broke? Can the risk in this case not be very very low ? I know it's difficult to measure this risk but really what are the odds
Secondly yes this is a woman who is long known to me for about a year and I actually saw the results of her test. But who can tell what happened in between
Do I need to get tested or am I worrying too much? More and more I think the worry after the act makes it not so attractive

Brief Answer:
I suggest just to be calm to do a 4 generation HIV test.

Hello,
I am sorry for my late response.
It doesn't matter if you withdrew immediatly because HIV can be transmmited even in this second.
If you have doubt about her sexual history I suggest just to be calm, to do a 4 th generation HIV test after 4-6 weeks from exposure.
I hope my answer helps you.
