Could I be infected?
Yesterday I had vaginal sex with a woman who was in her periods with a condom on. She started to bleed during sex and thus I stopped in between the process, only to find out that there was blood all over the condom and some of it was on my shirt. So i gently pulled the condom off my penis, took off my shirt and went ahead to take care of the bloodstain. I quickly put my shirt under running cold water and rubbed the stain with my bare hands with detergent soap. After cleaning the stain I again washed my hands with a hand sanitizer and afterwards took a bath cleaning my penis with running soap water. It was only then that I noticed that I had a cuticle on my index finger but it was not bleeding or anything. After two hours of taking the bath I masturbated given that I was still unfinished while engaging in sex. The woman mentioned above has multiple sex partners but her infection status is unknown, so assuming she is infected with HIV and HCV I have the following questions;
(1) Could I get infected while taking the condom off?
(2) Could I be infected while rinsing the blood stain on my shirt with the cuticle on my finger?
(3) Could I be infected while I was washing my penis while taking bath with hands that I had practically washed twice, i.e.; once while rinsing the cloth and second with liquid soap.
(4) Is there any possibility for the virus i.e.; HIV as well as HCV to still remain on my hands after washing my hands and taking bath, and later on infect me such as while I was masturbating or carrying on usual business?
(4) Is it safe to put my shirt in the washing machine given that there is no visible blood stain on it?
(5)Although it can be summarised from answers for the above questions but still, do i need to visit my doctor and get myself tested or is it alright?

The condom protected you from HIV and HIV dies in the air so you have no risk. No one got air HIV in history so you can move on from HIV fears.
Since this is an HIV forum, you will have to take the HCV question to its forum unless someone here responds since I don't know the risks.
