You are right that the risk from a single act of vaginal sex with a condom breakage is low â estimated at around 0.04 to 0.08% per exposure from female to male â but it is not zero, especially with a confirmed HIV-positive partner. The important thing is that there is a window period of up to 72 hours after exposure during which PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) can be started to significantly reduce the risk of transmission.
Next Steps
Please consult me directly on Practo urgently for a detailed evaluation â timing is critical if PEP is needed.

The risk of HIV transmission from a single episode of vaginal intercourse is generally low, but it is not zero.
The actual risk depends on factors such as the HIV viral load of the partner, presence of genital ulcers/STIs, and timing of exposure. If the exposure was recent (within 72 hours),

Health Tips
PEP may be considered. HIV testing should be done as per recommended follow-up schedule for complete reassurance.

The estimated average risk of HIV transmission from female to male during a single act of unprotected vaginal intercourse is about 4 per 10,000 exposures (0.04%).
The risk can be higher if:
--The female partner has a high viral load (untreated HIV).
--Either partner has genital ulcers, STIs, or bleeding.
--There are genital injuries or inflammation.
If the condom broke within the last 72 hours, Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) should be considered urgently. PEP is most effective when started as soon as possible and should be started no later than 72 hours after exposure.
