Hello
Thanks for choosing wwwhealthcaremagic
Break in condom for 1-2 minutes exposes one to the same chance of getting STD as when 10-15 minutes or unprotected. Accurate prediction is impossible but the chances are same. One has to wait and watch and if there is information regarding STD status of partner, look for the symptoms actively.
