Hello, I Had Recently Had Sexual Intercourse With A Man

Hello,

I had recently had sexual intercourse with a man of unknown status. I have become very concerned because he had mentioned that he has been with over 60 women and has never been checked; however, he said he never has sex without a condom so I am starting to have doubts. I have reason to believe he is telling the truth because he didn’t hesitate to grab a condom, but I cannot be sure that he uses condoms properly every time. I am not sure if the condom was expired or if it was stored in proper temperature; however, I am not too sure if that matters because I am almost certain the condom did not break. Also I didn’t look to see if the condom was fitting him properly so I don’t know if that is a risk. As he went to put on the condom he noticed that he was putting it on the wrong way and turned it over and continued to roll on the condom. At this point precum was present on the outside of the condom. About 10 seconds later we proceeded to have intercourse. We had penetrative sex for about 3 minutes until it stopped. There was no full ejaculation and as stated before, I am almost certain the condom did not break. I have recently read that precum can contain amounts of hiv and although it is said that hiv cannot live outside of the body, I read that it takes a few minutes for the virus to die. It was only about 10 seconds before the precum entered my body. I need to know if an act like this was potential risk of hiv. Also, I will be getting tested I just would like to know if this was considered a risk.
Thanks so much.
