Protected sex broken skin menstrual blood
I had sex about a month ago with an older lady (40 "ish") I met at a club. She seemed "do"able so I had sex with her. I used protection but 2 or 3 minutes into it, I noticed her vagina was very lubricated. I pulled out and saw blood. She said she must have started her period. I peeled off the condom (which was still intact). Then I wiped the blood from my penis where the condom didn't cover with my hand and my shirt. I only remember seeing blood at the base of my penis. Also, there was not a lot of blood and most of it was found in the corner where the shaft meets the testicles.
I have a bruise on my penis from where condoms normally stop. This bruise, which is a ring, goes all the way around my penis and is the size and shape of the ring at the base of the condom. This bruise is still there even though I haven't had sex in a while (it's always there!).
Anyway, once I cleaned all the blood that I could see from my penis, I headed home. At home, I cleaned my penis with soap and dried it. After that, I applied alcohol and hydrogen peroxide. The hydro peroxide bubbled a little bit on a spot that was above where condoms normally stop on me (above the bruise). So, on normal circumstances the condom should have covered this place. The hydro peroxide bubbles revealed broken skin in the shape of the same ring I normally get from where the condom stops. This place was not visible to the eye. The alcohol may have burn a little but I am not sure because by this time I was freaking out. The place where the hydro peroxide bubbled did not bleed. I still have wrinkled skin in the shape of a ring in this spot today.
IMPORTANT: Please, base all answers assuming that the sex partner does in fact have HIV. I do not wish to dilute reponses with probabilities that my sex partner HIV. So, assume my sex partner is 100% HIV positive.
My questions: (1)What are the chances that HIV was passed to me given my situation? Please, include in your answer the chances that the condom my have slipped upward and the hiv infection passed through the broken skin (which was not bleeding) and into my bloodstream. (2)Is it true that in order for fluid to go into broken skin, fluid must be able to come out of broken skin? I ask this because the broken skin was not bleeding. I am hoping that even though the outer layer of skin was broken, the inner layers of skin was intact and is the reason no blood was visible.
FYI:I am really freaking out because I am a phd student. I have worked so hard to prepare for my future and it feels as if my future may be cut short because of a bad circumstance.

Thanks, your straight forward answers really helps my anxiety. I feel a whole lot better already! What about the second question? (At this point I just want to be able to pass this info along)
