Menstrual blood on condom after sex with a CSW. Should i get tested?
Recently, I had protected sex with a CSW in India. I wore 2 condoms as she insisted. We jad vaginal intercourse for about 150 seconds. After removal of my penis from her vagina, I noticed blood on my condom. She quickly removed my condom and said that she was on her periods. I couldnot make sure whether there was blood inside or outside the condom. But I couldnot find any blood on my penis. I am very worried about this incident. What are the chances of me getting infected with hiv if she was hiv positive. Should I get tested? It has been 6 days since the incident and has been worrying me a lot. Please help
You had no risk so testing was a waste of time. You didn't do any of the ONLY 3 risks below.
HIV is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. It doesn't matter if you and they were actively bleeding or had cuts at the time either because the HIV is effectively dead.
Only adult risks are the following:
1. unprotected penetrating vaginal
2. unprotected penetrating anal sex
3. sharing needles that you inject with. Knowing these 3 are all you need to know to protect yourself against HIV. Your situation is a long way from any of these 3.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns, etc the air or the saliva does not allow inactivated virus to infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established so there is no detail that you can add that will make your encounter a risk for HIV.
Only the head of your penis needs protection and blood can't get inside the condom past the ring at the bottom without it falling off. You are safe using a condom always.
btw 2 condoms increases the chance that they will create enough friction to tear each other apart so you are better off using one next time.

Thank you very much for your quick response sir, its an intense relief. Also sir I would like to know if there was breakage of condoms as i used 2 of them, unaware of the cons of it. I didnot find any blood on my penis but I am not sure if there was a breakage of the condom, I also thought that the blood might be inside the condom but didnt check it.
A condom failure always results in a large rip down the seam and it hangs in tatters, so that didn't happen because both people notice that immediately. Especially if you had 2 of them hanging, lol.
Thank you Sir!
