There is no way to tell for sure whether you have been infected by the HIV virus, but there is certainly a chance that you have contracted the disease.
The best thing to do is to get checked as soon as you can - the earlier you are diagnosed with the virus, the more chance you have of treating the condition.
Can I catch HIV from someone if we had sex and the condom broke?
HIV can be passed from one person to another through the following bodily fluids:
A condom prevents HIV infection by stopping semen (and pre-ejaculate) from coming into contact with vaginal tissue.
If the condom you were using broke and the guy you were having sex with ejaculated inside you, there's a considerable chance that you may have been exposed to the virus.
Even if he didn't ejaculate into you, a man's penis can release something called pre-ejaculate which can contain the HIV virus.
If a guy has cuts or sores on his penis (even very small ones) then there is also the chance that infected blood may have entered your system.
As I said before, the best thing to do is to get yourself tested.
Although it might seem like a scary thing to put yourself through, it's much better to get tested and find out for sure!
