blood inside the condom

I had an experience where I was the top, and I had protected sex with my gay partner. Although he claims he is HIV negative, one can't help to still question the situation when an instance occurs.
After intercourse, I noticed a very pink like substance near the shaft of my penis (near my pubic area) on the inside of the condom, and very little drops of it. There was no traces of it in my semen/ejaculation, or anywhere near the tip of my penis. I am aware that my partner has not had intercourse in a while, and this could cause rectal bleeding, but how this could have gotten in the condom is what worries me. There were no tears or breaks in the condom after examining.
My question and concern is if there is a risk of HIV contraction if my partner was dishonest about his status? I know that the tip of my penis would need to be exposed to the blood if this were to be true, but the fact that the pink substance (which I'm not entirely sure is blood given that blood is red, unless the mixture of lubricant and blood turns pink) made its way into the condom worries me. What is my risk?

I get touching isn't a risk. But it didn't touch it somehow made its way in the condom and u had to roll the condom off and over my tip...that's not relevant to contraction? Considering for a top it is spread through the penis entry?

But how would the blood have gone in the condom and how does the presence of blood not present a risk considering it was in the condom  (at the very base) and may have touched the tip considering condom removal?
