I had sex with her with a condom but at some point I remember taking the condom out ,for about ten seconds , I was with out a condom in her. only to make matters worse the condom I was wearing came with blood around it . I have been having this burning sensations on my penis head . her viral load is below 50 . what are my chances of having the virus

8 week antibody test will give you a result. You had a risk.

I think you need a test right now, and then another on exactly six months after your encounter. You need to know for sure. Best of luck. I too found myself in a similar situation many years ago. I had to wait six months and then I got myself tested. The test was negative, but either way I had to know. Be careful.
