Protected anal sex with csw

Hi,  a couple of days ago I engaged in anal sex with a csw of unknown HIV status. I wore a condom throughout and at one point she thought she saw blood so I withdrew. There wasn’t any so I changed the condom and reinserted. A couple of things cause me concern. 1. She is a sex worker 2. Unknown HIV status and 3. She used body lotion as lube which I now know contained oil so am worried about the integrity of the condom. So given the above scenario am I at risk of contracting HIV. I am concerned because I have a partner and do not want her to catch anything from me. Thanks

If it doesn't "break" (you mean rip down the seam) , it doesn't matter if it is 100 years old.
It is time to move on instead of asking irrelevant questions and imagining waste matter bored a hole into your condom to infect you.

Your condom didn't break or you'd know it. I would not worry about that. She sounds careful as she told you she saw blood. The only ways people get HIV is to have unprotected vaginal or anal sex or share IV needles to inject drugs. Only the head of the penis needs covered. So, you did not have a risk.

If a condom fails it rips down the seam and hangs broken so that didn't happen. You can't get hiv since you used the condom.
All those scenarios you worry about are non-events when you have zero risk.

Thank you for your prompt reply. 2 follow up points if I may. After I withdraw the second time there were some waste matter does this change anything? And also if the condominium was out of date (she provided it) would it still be ok as long as it remained intact? Do you think I should test?
