Condom Broke and there was Menstrual blood
Hey all, I am a 44 years old Circumcised male, i have been sexually active for the past 3 months -always protected sex except for oral sex-
4 days ago and -unfortunately- i had a vaginal sex exposure with a CSW in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
While having sex the condom broke, it was not more than 10 Seconds before I found out, no ejaculation happened and I had no open sores on my penis or any other cuts, yet still I found a tiny amount of blood on the condom, I can’t think of any reason for the blood except that she it was Menstruation blood –just the beginning of it-
I am of a good general health, smoker and have never been diagnosed with any STD or any serious disease.
Right now i am freaking out because of the hazardous of HIV that I have put myself in.
I have asked her if this was the first time for her to have a condom failure indecent and she answered yes, she even had a general blood test for a full checkup and she was in good health as well as the HIV blood test 2 years ago for residency visa and she already has her visa stamped (which means she was a negative at the time), my questions are as follows.
1- I have read somewhere on the internet that the risk of transmission to the insertive partner from a single encounter of unprotected anal sex is 0.065%, meaning that 99.935% do not get HIV, is that true ?
2-Do you recommend I get tested for HIV? I am thinking of getting a PCR test to check myself, how long should I wait before getting tested (PCR) and how accurate and reliable is that test?
3- Do you recommend that I go for the PCR test or should i go for the regular antibody test and how long should I wait as well?
4- Dose being circumcised have anything to do with minimizing the risk of HIV infection?
5- Dose the presence of Menstruation blood increase the risk of HIV infection?
Thank you in advance for helping me on this, I would really appreciate to hear from some of the 5 stars people as soon as possible as I am really freaking out.

You've had a risk, albeit a lower level one due to the fact you noticed very quickly that the condom broke. I would not expect to become positive over this, but take a DUO test at 28 days.
