Hello and welcome to HCM.
Thanks for putting up your query over here.
HIV infection transmission chaces are less with protected sex provided there was no event of condom tearing.
Major routes of HIV transmission are-
-unprotected sexual intercourse
-blood transfusion
-intravenous drug abuse
If you want,you can get tested for HIV antibody after 3 months of exposure.Till then,refrain from sexual activity or donating blood.
Hope this information helps .
Thanks .
