Genital warts and hiv risk

Hello all,

I am male, 35, uncircumcised, from south east asia.

I have two potential sexual exposures.

1. I had unprotected gential rubbing from a cw. She was on top and rubbing her vagina against my penis for 30 secs. Felt wet probably her vaginal fluid. Then have a protected sex for 3 min max. No other activities. After 3 months from this exposure i had 2 genital warts on my penis shaft (middle). Is there any risk of contracting hiv from genital rubbing.

2. Later 10 months had a unprotected oral sex with a another sex worker.several time (deep throated) with lot of salaiva. And had protected sex. During intercourse i have noticed that csw starts menstruation and my condom covered with blood and also my pubic hair in groin area. while changing a position i removed condom and my genital warts exposed to menstrual blood in groin area, later she gave me unprotected oral and i have used new condom for further sex. 10 days Later i have came to know she is hiv positive during her regular health checkup.
I got scared because of unprotected oral sex (possibly her blood may contact my urethera through her hand or mouth)
And also many websites state menstrual blood is more infectious and having contact with genital warts increases risk upto 80%.( my warts are not bleed or sore, it was dry and looks intact but in a closer look it has tiny pores like appearance). Would this pose hiv transmission?

Please advise i want to know my odds and this two exposures does warrant a testing?

Your situation involves personal contact with an object in air  (penis and mouth which is not a risk for hiv.) No worries, because you can't get hiv from personal contact except unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal, neither of which you did and you didn't share hollow needles to inject with which is the only other way to acquire 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.
Only the head needs protection which the condom supplied, so you should move on from hiv fears. There is no reason for a person to test when they are safe.

Thanks for your immediate reply.

I am worried about genital warts in base of penis shaft. Becuase some studies results having genital warts increases hiv transmission upto 80%. And while have intercourse its completely covered but in between i have removed the condom to get oral sex. While this time my genital warts exposed to menstrual blood in pubic area and also her mouth(salaiva and possible blood from penis shaft which is not covered by condom)

Kindly advise

Also if having genital warts is risk means what kind of?

Like open sore/ lesion or dry intact warts also can pose risk?

Because while inspecting the wart in closely its having tiny pores like appearance.

Would this pose me a hiv risk?
Kindly advise
Kindly reply please
You have already been advised.  You had ZERO risk.  

The only sexual risk for HIV is when an unprotected penis is inside a vagina or anus.  It doesn't matter if you have HPV or not.  No penetration = no risk.
