Female menstrual Blood on scrotum skin

I had sex with a hiv poz partner male to female
Sex was protected .
Only style we did was dogstyle standing Up.
Unfortunately she was on her period and blood went onto my scrotal skin.
Immediately we stoped sex and i washed my scrotum with Water.
Condom was intact did not slip.
I was prescribed Acriptega because i insisted on it
Three weeks after incident my testicle was red and swollen   for a day and healed.
Now occasionally it itches i was tested for syphhils ,chlmaydia and hiv on day 30..2 Days after last dose of pep..Fourth gen .On day 42 i was tested fourth gen for hiv still negative but itchiness comes and goes .
I am in panic My question is
1.What is your assesement of my risk menstrual flow on scrotum from hiv poz partner
2.How effective acriptega on its own be effective as pep
3.Given that they say 6 weeks test for fourth gen if negative is a good indicator.can i count myself negative.
Because of swellin on testicle  that once appeared on testicle i am in panic .Though the Doctor insisted that it might have only been a localised skin reaction and that hiv can not permeate intact skin
4.Can not hiv permeate scrotal skin if the menstrual flow was on testicle for at least 5minutes.

Final question :Why are you Guys closing .is there nothing we can do to keep you functioning

Your situation involves personal contact with an object in air  (menstrual  blood on condom, body,  scrotum, hands, etc. ) . You will be happy to learn that you had no risk, because you can't get hiv from personal contact except unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal with a penis, neither of which you did and you didn't share hollow needles to inject with which is the only other way to acquire hiv - there are ONLY 3 ways to get hiv. Note that 2 of them require a penis and the third requires a hollow injecting shared needle - there are no OTHER ways to get hiv. Analysis of large numbers of infected people over the 40 years of hiv history has proven that people don't get hiv in the way you are worried is a risk.
Hiv is a fragile virus in air or saliva and is effectively instantly dead in either air or saliva so the WORST that could happen is dead virus rubbed you, and obviously anything which is dead cannot live again so you are good. Blood and cuts would not be relevant in your situation since the hiv has become effectively dead, so you don't have to worry about them to be sure that you are safe.
There is no reason for a person to test when they are safe. The advice took into consideration that the other person might be positive, so move on and enjoy life instead of thinking about this non-event. hiv prevention is straightforward since there are only 3 ways you can become infected, so next time you wonder if you had a risk, ask yourself this QUESTION. "Did I do any of the 3?" Then after you ANSWER "No, there wasn't a penis in an anus or vagina and I wasn't injected" you will know that it's time to move on back to your happy life.
No one got hiv from what you did during 40 years of hiv history and no one will get it in the next 40 years of your life either.  You can do what you did any time and be safe from hiv.
The other person's status is irrelevant when you have no exposure to live virus.
If you still have questions about your risk, after reading all of the above, then it is because you didn't answer the QUESTION above.
You can't get hiv when you use a condom and only the head needs protection.
Washing dead virus is a waste of time.
The only reason the doc prescribed hiv treatment was to get you out of his office, so he could deal with patients that needed his attention. It is time to move on.

The only risks for HIV are to have unprotected vaginal or anal sex or sharing IV needles to inject drugs. Air and saliva inactivate the virus. The ONLY area of the penis, as well, that needs to be covered is the head of the penis. The area you mention would NOT transmit HIV. No risk.
