Q: i have done protected sex with a lady and she got menstrual discharge. i stopped immediately and safely removed the condom. i am pretty sure that condom was not broken. i am bit worried about the hiv risk?

: Little or no risk. Condoms work, and sex during menstruation does not elevate HIV risk anyway. In HIV infected women, the amount of virus is similar in vaginal fluids and blood.
