Menstrual Blood on Penis After Sex then Blowjob
I am a male and had protected vaginal sex with someone I met on a dating app. This person, a woman, was on her period.
After the vaginal sex, the condom was removed and I noticed some blood on the shaft of my penis where the condom didn't cover. We talked for a short while (few minutes) and then she gave me a blowjob. There are no cuts on my shaft at all. She also kissed me too.
What's the risk of HIV here in relation to the blood on the penis being sucked up and down via a blowjob without a condom (urethra) , plus the kissing? I saw its negligible or next to zero because the period blood was exposed to air. Can I resume sexual activities with another partner due to this potential exposure? For context, this particular woman also did an oraquick test a day after the exposure and it was negative. She claims she is clean too.
I'm quite worried.

Your situation involves personal contact with an object in air (touching penis, maybe someone's blood on penis shaft, maybe cuts you didn't notice 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.

Your risk of HIV transmission doesn't exist in the situation you described. HIV does not penetrate through intact skin of shaft of your penis. Oral sex is also a no risk activity.

If there was blood on my hands from touching the shaft plus then I touched the tip, would this have made a difference? I guess because its airborne, it's still no risk?
