Is cunnilingus with menstrual blood contagious?

Dear all,

First, please excuse me for my bad English since I do not live in any English speaking country (I live in the Central and Eastern Europe).

I am worrying about something that happened today. I visited a brothel and had an intercourse with a prostitute. It all started by her giving me protected oral sex (with condom). Then I gave her oral (I was licking her genitalia, not protected). It took just several seconds and then we had protected vaginal sex. After my ejaculation, which came quite fast, I pulled my penis from her vagina and there was a small blood stain on the condom. Then she found out that she had a period. She did not know it before, she really found it out right after the intercourse (for some reason I believed her).

What I am worried about is that during the cunnilingus some blood got into my mouth (I am quite sure). I asked her whether she was infected by any STD, especially HIV, but she told me that she gets often tested and everytime the result was okay (no STD at all). Honestly, I do not know her and she could be right but she could also lie to me.

Please, tell me what is the real likelihood that I got infected by HIV? I know that blood is the most dangerous human fluid that can transmit HIV. She was not bleeding too much during the cunnilingus, I did not even notice that she was bleeding and there was no sign of blood during the cunnilingus. The bloodstain appeared just after the protected sex on the condom. But still I know that some slight blood got in my mouth because of saulty taste in my mouth.

She gave me her telephone number so that I would be able to contact her anytime and make sure that everything is okay with her... But still, I am too nervous and from this day on I will observe HIV symptoms on me... Please tell me that the risk is not that high... I am really freaking out...

Many thanks for any answers!

Jimmy

You had no risk and a test would be a waste of time.

HIV is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from touching, rubbing or oral activities. It doesn't matter if you and they were actively bleeding or had cuts at the time either because the HIV is effectively dead.  

Only adult risks are the following:
1. unprotected penetrating vaginal
2. unprotected penetrating anal sex
3. sharing needles that you inject with. Knowing these 3 are all you need to know to protect yourself against HIV. Your situation is a long way from any of these 3.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns, etc the air or the saliva does not allow inactivated virus to infect from touching or oral activities. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established.
No one got HIV from touching, rubbing or oral activities in 40 years of HIV history, so likely no one will in the next 40 years of your life either.

You can get best std advice on the std forum since you had a risk for that. There is no reason for " from this day on I will observe HIV symptoms on me" since you can't have HIV.

Hi, thank you very much for your answer, it really helped me a lot. Now I feel a little bit relaxed. I do not know so much about the HIV transmition. I know that the virus can be transmited by blood, so that when I realized that I had some blood in my mouth I was prepared to kill myself because I was pretty sure that I would be HIV positive. Thank you again, your answer really helped me and calmed me down.
Don't even think about killing yourself again.
Alright, I won't. I was really freaking out. Thank you for your support.
