a bit confused

again like everybody else, maybe i am just worrying too much.

during the last year, i went to see a few CSW. Always had protected sex, whether oral or vaginal.
I remember once when I was trying to insert my penis, the condom broke on the side (when i was trying to get in - didnt actually penetrate) then I immediately stopped all action.

Another time i remember there was a little blood on the condom after i was finished - probably because she had her periods.

Given that I had protected sex during all my encounters and including those two experiences, what do you think my stakes are? Any risk of hiv?

What counts as a risk is when you have the sex unprotected (except oral, which is no risk) or the condom is broken during the intercourse.

Oral sex, no matter one-second or one-week long, doesn't count as HIV risk.

You did not have a risk.

If you did not penetrate you had no risk for HIV.

So what u are saying is that a slight and extremely short contact with no insertion is not considered as risk?

Considering what you said was like how it was, then no need to test.

so worrying abt nothing? Thought that going to see a CSW was a risk in itself with or without protection

If your genital was really not in and during the second one the condom wasn't broken, then you had no risk of HIV.
