Hello
In between sexual intercourse condom ruptured and you didn't know when this happen, so we call it as UNPROTECTED sex .
Risk is more when sex is with a sex worker .
If your partner was an HIV infected with high viral load(>400 copies of RNA per ml or CD+T cells Now please get in blood for rapid nucleic acid amplification test ( P 24 pcr rna ) for confirmation for HIV infection.
Antibodies to HIV begin to appear within 2 weeks of initial infection .
So after 2 weeks of initial contract get in test .
Hope this will help you.
