Condom Breakage: What to do?

Given prev threads on BBFSTC, this happened to me accidentally with an SP when the condom broke.  She pulled out immediately upon detecting my release and went to the washroom to clean, I followed 2 mins later and washed my penis with soap and water.
I was only inside her for 1 minute before I came, but the penis head was exposed.  She says she has been recently tested (AIDs tested?)without any problems and showered before our session.

An hour after I left I used this waterless cleanser to wash my penis (it stings) and later at home I took a shower.

Two questions;
1)  Should I have much cause for concern now, is there anything I should do (7 days later)?
2)  What could I have done better during the accident?

Still worried,.. thanks for any help.

Just as many women urinate after sex to flush out the urethra, you should do the same thing too as soon as possible in this situation.  

Another minor thing I do is I never shave the hair on the base of my penis within a day of seeing an escort.  The reason is that I will invariably have little knicks or cuts that bleed and I want them to be fully healed prior to having sex.

Also, a lot of guys still don't know that you should put some water-based lubricant on the inside of the condom, or on the head of the penis.  Not only will this increase your pleasure, it reduces the tugging and pulling on the condom membrane, and greatly reduces the chance of it breaking.

If you already do this, make sure you have a condom that's sized properly for you.  I like the larger, loose fitting head design of the In-spiral condom (other brands have come out with similar shapes) because it allows for relative motion between the condom and your penis.  It increases sensation because you have to remember, you are having intercourse with the inside of the condom, not with the walls of the vagina.  A condom that's too tight actually reduces sensation in addition to increasing the chance of breakage.

Another reason to check the size is a tight condom will make you orgasm sooner because of the intense pulling on the head of the penis.  You may find you last longer and increase your enjoyment if you make these changes.

The big dirty secret is that is is very difficult for a man to catch AIDS from a woman. The one at the receiving end is much much more at risk (hence the association between AIDS and male homosexuality).

However, the only way to know for certain is wait 6 months and then get tested.

Not much else you can do....remember: life is risk. it is unavoidable. You can get killed walking your doggie.

most providers prefer to supply their own condoms. That being the case, you may want talk it over with the provider prior to your meeting so that she can be prepared and it won't be a potential conflict when you do get together. JMHO

I always bring my own and let the provider know about it prior to the meeting so she feels at ease with it. I use the Extra Sensitive Ribbed & Lubed type which provides me more sensation and do lube the shaft prior to Coitus as G2 also said so it is feels more.

The reason why I bring mine is because it goes with my size(7")  and I have had several scares were the condom has been left inside when I removed my little pole because they are a generic kind and too big/loose for mine.

These are my .02 if any one cares to read.

I order my condoms from the internet because they have a larger variety and various sizes.  If slippage is a probelm, try snugger fit for the slightly narrower penis. If breakage is a problem try extra protection for a thicker condom.

Actually, about the "6 month window" thing...it's not politically correct to challenge it, but scientific evidence has shown that it's really a make-believe number which simply isn't backed up by the data on HIV seroconversion.  This 6 month window is a throwback to the early days of AIDS research, and is partially rooted in conservative guess work on the part of certain organizations.  The latest research shows that most people who contract HIV will develop antibodies by the first 3-4 weeks.  In practically every single study on HIV seroconversion, 99% of individuals exposed to HIV developed antibodies by the end of 3 monts.  There have supposedly been a few rare cases where an exposed individual did not develop antibodies until much later.  However, in a few of these cases, it was later discovered that some of those interviewed had in fact stated an incorrect exposure baseline, thus skewing the testing results.
