HIV Risk? Worried.
I recently had sex with a Japanese masseuse. I wore a condom throughout the session, but she was on her period. I immediately looked down at the condom once I finished and noticed blood on the condom and possible on the inside of the condom, on my shaft. The condom didn't slip or break. I am worried about the risk of possibly contracting HIV during this encounter.

As an adult, the only risks for HIV are:
1) having unprotected, penetrative vaginal or anal sex, or
2) sharing IV drug needles with other IV drug users.
This event is a NO RISK event, even *if* blood got into the condom. The only two ways that HIV is contracted are listed above.
