Am I at risk of HIV?

Hi there,

Please help with my situation. I had protected anal sex with another guy a week ago. We used a Durex condom, but he put his siliva on the condom as lube, and then started inserting his penis into my anal. Since I felt painful at the beginning, he only inserted a small part for the first 10-20 seconds and then slowly inserted the whole thing. The course last 3-4 minutes and he took it out 2 times during the process due to my pain. Then we finished since I couldn't put up with the pain at last, and he did not ejaculate at all. But after he pulled out for the last time, I found my haemorrhoids was broken during the process and it was bleeding. So I was scared that since the condom had his siliva on it, is it possible for me to be infected with HIV through the "siliva-broken haemorrhoids" contact?
I went through some materials online and learned that siliva could not transmit HIV, and even if it has infected blood in it, it can help kill the virus instead of transmitting it. But I'm still worried about my specific case. Can you help me? Thank you.

Sorry, Teak, I'm not trying to bother you, but I'm worried again. I understand what you said "Saliva isn't infections and contains over a dozen different enzymes and proteins that inhibits HIV transmission." But as far as I know, haemorrhoids are basicly blood vessels, right? Is saliva even not infectious when it goes into blood vessel?
Recently my wife felt not well with her stomach and vomited once yesterday, and I saw some small red spots on my daughter's back head near her neck. I had unprotected sex with my wife after that matter, and my wife breadmilks my daughter everyday. I don't want to ruin my family....

Thank you Teak, you did read through until the " "siliva-broken haemorrhoids" ", right? Cuz it's not just siliva, it's siliva met blood. I just want to make sure.
