Menstrual Blood
I am nervous about an exposure I had last week with a stripper on Long Island, NY. Things got out of hand and we engaged in oral/vaginal sex both protected with a condom. The event was nearly 10 minutes and after ejaculation I noticed a streak of blood on the condom. I pointed this out to the girl and she told me that she forgot that her period was set to begin the following day. This made me extremely nervous due to the presence of blood, though I did not notice blood on any part of my skin - only the condom. I am curious if this calls for alarm and testing? Would you consider my risk to be increased due to the presense of blood? I don't believe that I had any cuts or open sores anywhere in that area. Thank you in advance for your response as I am exremely nervous!
