Do I need to get tested after period sex?

I went to a stripper's apartment last week, and I had sex. During sex, I noticed some blood on the condom when I briefly withdrew. She finally told me she was on her period. We continued anyway. I finished and removed the condom by stretching the base of the condom on the left and right ends so I wouldn't roll it down. I carefully pushed the condom off without touching the head. I wiped away a little blood where the base of the condom was with toilet paper.

We started again with a new condom, but the blood continued to flow. By then, I had a rag to carefully wipe away the blood before it touched the base of the condom. I noticed the condom rolled up a little, so I rolled it back half an inch. It made me a little uncomfortable, and I went flaccid for a minute then I was erect afterward. I couldn't finish so I removed the second condom the same way I did the first one.

Based on this experience, do I need a HIV test? Am I in danger of any STD/STI?

Totally agree. Since the head of your penis was covered the entire time, you're not at risk for HIV, if that's what you're concerned with.

The period seems to be what you're worried about.  If you used a condom properly, as you suggest, you're as safe as you can be, but if you're going to have sex with people who probably have sex for a living, you're living on the edge and should therefore get tested regularly no matter what.  Not sure why you're so worried about the period, when you have sex with any woman during her period there will be some blood on the area above the condom.
