Risks of oral sex with a condom

On August 2, 2023, I had oral sex with a condom. I am worried that condoms have very small leaks that are not visible to the eye, what is the risk of HIV transmission if there is blood coming out of the mouth of the woman who is giving me oral sex and then the blood enters through a very small hole in the condom which then touches the tip of my penis which is not circumcised?

Condoms don't have very small leaks, that's really not possible but even if they did . . . oral sex is not a risk. You could have used NO condom and it would not have transmitted HIV. The ONLY risks for hiv are to have unprotected vaginal or anal sex or to share IV needles to inject drugs. Air and saliva inactivate the virus. NO risk from what you describe. At all. (and condoms don't have little holes in them. That's an anxious scenario that is irrational).

Hi thank you for you response. Can I ask you some other things?
I'm not sure. Anxiety causes a lot of unnecessary questions.
There is no question or detail that you could add that would turn this event into a risk for HIV.

You don't get HIV from another person's mouth - NO MATTER WHAT.
It doesn't matter if she had blood or fluid or anything else in her mouth. HIV is not transmitted by saliva or by the mouth.
