The answer is no. But to live with anxiety all the time is not good for you.
Best is to get HIV test done now, which is mostly going to be negative and get the test repeated in 3 months time once more considering the window period.
No one knows how the quality of the condom was and hopefully the technique was right as well. So keeping all uncertainties at hand, best is to go for test when in doubt.
