CSW with vaginal blood

I'm not panicking, but I am feeling a bit concerned. Last 2 weeks and yesterday, i had an intercourse with the same CSW. Each meeting we did the intercourse twice, and always protected. But the thing is, since she is particularly smaller than I am, everytime we do it, she has blood on her vagina that kinda splattered a little on my pubes, and she told me that she had never bled before she met me, and she only bleeds whenever she does it with me. I'm not that worried, since she had previously confessed that she had only been working as a CSW for 3 months only. But she also told me that once a customer of hers deliberately pricked a hole on his condom so the condom bursted inside her vagina, but then she promptly pushed him out before he ejaculated. Is it possible that she probably contracted the virus during her 3 months of work, and then passed it to me through her vaginal bleeding?

Your situation involves personal contact with an object in air  ( body, maybe her blood,  etc. ). You will be happy to learn that you had no risk, because you can't get hiv from personal contact except unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal with a penis, neither of which you did and you didn't share hollow needles to inject with which is the only other way to acquire hiv - there are ONLY 3 ways to get hiv. Note that 2 of them require a penis and the third requires a hollow injecting shared needle - there are no OTHER ways to get hiv. Analysis of large numbers of infected people over the 40 years of hiv history has proven that people don't get hiv in the way you are worried is a risk.
Hiv is a fragile virus in air or saliva and is effectively instantly dead in either air or saliva so the WORST that could happen is dead virus rubbed you, and obviously anything which is dead cannot live again so you are good. Blood and cuts would not be relevant in your situation since the hiv has become effectively dead, so you don't have to worry about them to be sure that you are safe.
There is no reason for a person to test when they are safe. The advice took into consideration that the other person might be positive, so move on and enjoy life instead of thinking about this non-event. hiv prevention is straightforward since there are only 3 ways you can become infected, so next time you wonder if you had a risk, ask yourself this QUESTION. "Did I do any of the 3?" Then after you say "No, I didn't" you will know that it's time to move on back to your happy life.
No one got hiv from what you did during 40 years of hiv history and no one will get it in the next 40 years of your life either.  You can do what you did any time and be safe from hiv.
The other person's status is irrelevant when you have no exposure to live virus.
You can't get hiv when you use a condom so it is time for you to move on - that's why csw use condoms, to protect themselves which works out for you as well if you don't know if she has hiv. As for her, tell her to take a test (before you have sex with her again) instead of wasting time wondering if she got infected.
