Hello
thanks for the query
The status of the individual you had contact with is paramount in determining if you should be put on pep or not. If his status is not known then you need the pep. since the condom broke, though there was no precum nor ejaculation, you both might have sustained bruises through which contamination could have been transmitted.
Hope this helps
